Greeting by Prof. Dr. Sebastian Kummer

Today, ten years after being founded, KLU is an internationally recognized research institution, and not only in the logistics community, or in the economic sciences; thanks to the consistently international orientation of its curriculum, KLU’s degree programs are also known and respected by students and those involved in higher education in politics, companies and universities. KLU is also dedicated to solving real-world problems in the transport and logistics industry, and I am pleased to see that it is now also providing political advice and exerting influence through statements in the media. I had the good fortune to be involved in supporting KLU during its development, and it’s my pleasure to continue to do so today. My thanks and congratulations go to Klaus-Michael and all those who supported KLU with their heart and soul: I am firmly convinced that without their efforts, the German university landscape and the logistics scene alike would be poorer places.
