Excellent research

Center of excellence logistics & IT

The Center of Excellence Logistics and IT, one of 17 performance centers of the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft in Germany, bundles science and research in the competence field of logistics and IT at the Dortmund location. The center strengthens networking within the scientific community. It stands for excellent research – with the development and application of the latest technologies, from science for business.

Under the umbrella of the Center of Excellence Logistics and IT, scientific institutions are working together that – each in its own right – have been shaping and advancing logistics research for a long time. In the Leistungszentrum, they are now not only working together, but synergistically building a national infrastructure and an open innovation ecosystem – from basic to applied research, together with industry.

Interdisciplinary and cross-institutional research groups are driving forward the future topics of logistics and information logistics.

Their projects are based on a research map, one of the central overarching projects of the Center of Excellence. The research map links trend topics and application areas of logistics at the site with each other, so that research priorities and potentials can be seen at a glance.
