"The concept of THE KLU represents a most welcome innovation to logistics education. The idea of a university dedicated to teaching and research of logistics as an element of globally organized management is one for which the time is right."

Prof. C. John Langley Jr., Ph.D., Program Faculty

"THE KLU is set up to foster not only the latest logistics research and know-how, but also entrepreneurial spirit and personality. Research in logistics has still a long way to go, and THE KLU will make a great impact on academia and practice alike. Students graduating from KLU programs will be well equipped to master future logistics challenges which will require new thinking, new business models and new behavior."

Prof. Dr. Stephan M. Wagner, Program Faculty

"The Kühne Logistics University is a great initiative, offering great opportunities for students and academics to engage in top-education and research. This university, educating future managers has a focus on logistics, leadership and process management, and is thereby filling a gap in the university landscape. I admire its founder Professor Klaus-Michael Kühne to have identified this void and for taking this initiative.""

Prof. Dr. René de Koster, Program Faculty
