| | | | Dear Sir or Madam,
| |
| |
| | 
What were your best moments in 2022? Watch ours in this short video. Personally, I love good in-depth conversations. Two of which you can read in this issue – about the future of shipping and how we can reduce pollution caused by CO2 emissions. Dominik Englert, World Bank economist, asks the trillion dollar question. And Dr. Mikael Lind, maritime computer scientist, is convinced: No sustainability without digitalization. Both spoke at the Hapag-Lloyd Symposium at KLU about these topics.
At KLU I lead the Hapag-Lloyd Center for Shipping and Global Logistics (CSGL). Our interdisciplinary team works closely with companies and international institutions. Our research includes: (sustainable) port management and the energy transition, digitalization and technology in supply chains, the decarbonization of shipping, wind-assisted ship propulsion and electromobility on the water. Do you know about our unique electric school boat project in Columbia? Feel free to contact me about a potential collaboration.
KLU research in this newsletter: “Trust the Machine, Man! Enhancing the cooperation of humans and AI” and “With or against Each Other? Pay for Performance Can Harm the Team".
Wishing you conviviality this holiday season and beyond,
Prof. Dr. Gordon Wilmsmeier
Associate Professor for Shipping and Global Logistics
Director of the Hapag-Lloyd Center for Shipping and Global Logistics (CSGL)
Kühne Professorial Chair in Logistics, School of Management, Universidad de los Andes, Colombia
