HUMLOG Institute

The opening of the HUMLOG Institute

The Humanitarian Logistics and Supply Chain Research Institute has taken up its operations in September 2008. Albeit a young institute, its establishment followed a history of humanitarian logistics research at both the Hanken School of Economics and the National Defence University of Finland. Thus the opening of the HUMLOG Institute also marks the second anniversary of the establishment of the HUMLOG Group, an international research network in humanitarian logistics.
 
Opening seminar on Friday 12 December at the Hanken School of Economics, Auditorium Futurum, Arkadiankatu 22, Helsinki.
