Sustainable and efficient regional logistics is crucial for the international competitiveness of the Amsterdam Metropolitan Area. The Mainport Logistics research group of the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences is committed to practice-oriented research in this area, with and for businesses, governments and (other) knowledge institutions.
Making optimal use of goods transport corridors will help us achieve a more sustainable transport system. In the SPRONG research project Greening Corridors, AUAS is working together with four other universities of applied sciences and the Institute for Safety to find out what it will take to achieve this.
Dick van Damme has been Professor of Mainport Logistics since 2003. “Our discipline is increasingly about the big picture and its relationship to major societal transitions, such as towards sustainable energy and a circular economy”, says Van Damme. “This focus enables us to increase our impact.”
