From 13 to 19 November, a group of Bachelor’s and Master’s students from Merseburg and Ingolstadt travelled to Thailand together with Professor Dirk Sackmann and Professor Andreas Jattke to participate in the 1st Flying Seminar on Global Supply Chain Management. This workshop project focused on logistics and supply chain collaboration between Thailand and Germany. During the seminar, student teams presented the results of various logistics and supply chain management projects and shared their experiences.
In addition, we visited several facilities and organizations, e.g. a plantation and the Chamber of Commerce and Industry where we gained insight into process procedures and freight flows in Thailand, and their significance for international trade.
The seminar was hosted by the School of Logistics and Supply Chain at Naresuan University in Phitsanulok, but our group also travelled to Mae Sot, located at the Myanmar border, a key hub for trade between Thailand, China, and India.
We thoroughly enjoyed our study trip to Thailand. Working in an international setting on real-world problems broadened our perspective on future career decisions. Applying theoretical knowledge to practical challenges was a valuable learning experience. We benefited greatly from the intercultural learning environment and gained meaningful insights. We strongly recommend making this opportunity to be accessible to more students in the future.
