The International Joint Research Center in Logistics Management and Engineering (IRC-LOG) was founded in March 2018. Its managing director is Prof. Dr. Jianhui Du, former Vice-President of Zhongyuan University of Technology (ZUT) and together with Prof. Dr. Hans-Dietrich Haasis from the University of Bremen, she initiated and supported the inter-university collaboration starting in 2015. This collaboration was reinforced from the very beginning by AGKN e.V., as both universities are institutional members of the network. Prof. Dr. Hans-Dietrich Haasis serves as the foreign director of IRC-LOG and is also a distinguished professor at ZUT.
The foundation of IRC-LOG is the result of the successfully implemented internationalisation strategy of ZUT and the strategic importance of the logistics sector in Zhengzhou, which serves as a starting point for one of China’s economic corridors and as a key node in the railway connection between China and Germany, as part of the Chinese government’s “One Belt – One Road” initiative.
IRC-LOG is part of one of the 18 schools and departments at ZUT, namely the Department of Economic Management. It functions as a supporting research center for logistics within the department. In addition to research activities, the team members are actively involved in teaching bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral students in the following programs:
-
Logistics Management and Engineering
-
Control Science and Engineering
-
Computer Science and Mathematics
