Organization

Six primary academic partners have joined together to merge unique research strengths that allow CELDi to surpass traditional research institutions that offer a compartmentalized approach to logistics research. Each institution brings complementary expertise to the organization.

Bi-annual joint meetings are held in the spring and fall, rotated among the seven campuses. These meetings provide an opportunity to coordinate activities between researchers and the Industrial Advisory Board (IAB), which is comprised of a representative from each member company. The meetings provide opportunities for members to interact with researchers from all seven campuses, with top researchers and practitioners in the field of logistics, and with each other.

The Academic Partners include:

• University of Nebraska - Lincoln
• Oklahoma State University
• University of Arkansas
• University of Oklahoma
• University of Louisville
• University of Florida
• Lehigh University

At all seven campuses, research activities, graduate and undergraduate course offerings, professional development and continuing education opportunities combine to form the foundation and structure for educating the next generation of engineers in logistics and distribution.
