The 59th ESReDA Seminar on
Creating Safe and Resilient Logistic Systems
Announcement and Call for papers
Scope of the seminar
The issues of safe and resilient logistics systems constitute the competitive advantage of supply chains. Current enterprises implement their processes in a variable and uncertain environment. These conditions significantly affect the accuracy and effectiveness of decisions. Managers’ attention is focused primarily on events related to the occurrence of operational risk. In this case, the source of risks is internal disturbances in companies and processes implemented at organizations’ interfaces. Today, however, in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, disaster risk research is also gaining particular importance. The consequences of the current pandemic indicate the necessity for companies to develop also competencies concerning the assessment and management of “black swan” risks. For this reason, creating secure and resilient supply chains takes on particular importance today. For this reason, the issues to be raised during the 59th ESReDA seminar “Creating Safe and Resilient Logistic Systems” are important not only for scientific but also utilitarian reasons.
The Seminar aims to discuss theories, concepts, and experiences of enhancing the use of knowledge for better reliability, resilience, and risk management. The presented research results, operational proposals, and case studies will respond to enterprises’ managerial staff’s current problems throughout Europe. Thus, this Seminar will bring together researchers, practitioners, specialists, and decision-makers to discuss strategies and practical experiences in the given field of research.
The 59th ESReDA seminar will be held remotely on October 26‐27, 2021, hosted by the Wroclaw University of Science and Technology, Wroclaw, Poland. The sessions will be held using the zoom platform.
Topics include (but are not limited to)
- Designing reliable logistics networks;
- Design and optimization in transport and logistics;
- Modelling and simulation of logistics and transport processes;
- Planning and management of logistics and transport processes;

Wroclaw University of Science and Technology
Wroclaw University of Science and Technology was established in 1945, mainly as a result of the involvement of the academic staff of the now-defunct Technical University of Lviv and the Jan Kazimierz University in Lviv who adapted the destroyed buildings of the German School of Technology – Technische Hochschule. Today Wroclaw University of Science and Technology is one of the largest and best technical universities in the country, one regularly ranked among the best in the national rankings. There are currently 25 thousand students and 927 doctoral students (including 342 people at the Doctoral School) pursuing their degree programs under the supervision of nearly 2200 academic teachers at WUST’s 13 faculties and three branches. There are also over 1,100 international students (including 800 on full-cycle programs) from 69 countries around the world about studying at the university.
