IPIC 2020 aims to provide an open forum for researchers, industry representatives, government officials and citizens to together explore, discuss, introduce leading edge concepts, methodologies, recent projects, technological advancements,start-up initiatives, for current and future Physical Internet implementation.
Conference topics include inter-connected logistics, PI fundamentals, business models, governance and implementation, cross-chain control, synchromodal transportation, IT systems, stakeholders and their roles. New business models, enabling technologies and experimentations already underway will be presented, making this meeting a unique opportunity to learn, network and discuss the latest results and challenges about interconnected logistics. And, because logistics is global, participants will be from all over the world including researchers, industrial and international institution members, local authorities and standardization committees.

ASSOCIATED ACTIVITIES
Doctoral Colloquium
The Physical Internet Doctoral Colloquium provides PhD candidates with the opportunity to present and discuss their research with fellow PhD candidates and established researchers. One of the key elements of the seminar will be to discuss positioning of the PhD project in well-known and established lines of research and linking it in a founded way to the physical internet. Participation in the colloquium is by invitation. PhD candidates are asked to submit a research proposal or a working paper for review, along with a letter of recommendation. A limited number of grants will be made available to excellent PhD candidates to cover travel and hotel costs.
Student Competition
Bachelor and master students will be invited to join in an international competition to work on an assignment related to the physical internet. The assignment will be made available Fall 2017. A jury will select the winning team. A limited number of grants will be made available to the best team to visit the conference and present the work submitted.

OVERVIEW
The Physical Internet (PI) opens many more options to deliver goods to the end destination, thanks to interconnected services. To exploit such opportunities, routing algorithms must be developed at different levels to make the PI work. In this lecture, the levels will be defined and results obtained will be compared to traditional dedicated solutions. Two main point of views will be distinguished: the shipper (how to specify routing request) and the services provider (how to publish services and make agreements). The main PI principles will be presented as well as their impacts on algorithms, data requirements and performance. Initial results show the potential, but also uncover many research opportunities for services providers to develop new services and shippers to operate their supply chain with the PI.
ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Eric Ballot is full professor of supply chain management and industrial engineering at Mines ParisTech and the director of the Management Science lab. He is the head professor of the industrial management and supply chain program. He was a visiting scholar at the MIT Sloan School of management in 2007 and a visiting professor at HongKong University since 2015. He serves a board member of several institutions and is an accredited expert by Appeal Court of Paris since 2002. Eric Ballot has been leading many research projects both with the industry Airbus, Renault, Danone… and with international academic partners such as Cambridge, GeorgiaTech… He is also the author of many research papers and books chapters. His research has been awarded and recognized at several occasions in conferences and research prizes (IESM, ILS, PREDIT). He is also leading the Physical Internet Initiative in Europe with several projects funded in France and at the European level.
We would like to invite you to our upcoming Physical Internet Center seminar.
]]>IPIC 2017 aims to provide an open forum for researchers, innovators and practitioners to introduce leading edge concepts and methodologies; to review the state-of-the-art technologies and latest projects, and to identify critical issues and challenges for future Physical Internet induced research, innovation and implementation. For 2017, the comprehensive view on the Physical Internet from the IPIC conference merges with the technical and intralogistic view from the Logistikwerkstatt Graz for a promising format. Both the IPIC and the Logistikwerkstatt Graz are well established international conferences with broad contribution from industry and research.

The global logistics system is not sustainable from an economic, environmental or social perspective. Re-thinking logistics is a grand challenge as big as the information technology grand challenge that resulted in the (digital) Internet. It is proposed that in order to meet the logistics sustainability grand challenge, our logistics systems will evolve towards a Physical Internet. The merits and challenges of implementing the vision will be presented from three viewpoints and illustrated through demonstrations in the Physical Internet Center.

]]>Building Momentum toward a Smart Interconnected Era of Efficient and Sustainable Logistics, Supply Chains and Transportation
A lecture and discussion seeking to convey an understanding of Port Regions’ challenges with sustainability and other supply chain components in the face of continued growth, inadequate infrastructure and unsustainable inefficiencies. The Physical Internet concept is introduced as an emerging long-term solution to achieving a more sustainable global supply chain. The Physical Internet is an open global-logistics system founded on physical, digital and operational interconnectivity, through encapsulation, interfaces and protocols. The Physical Internet is intended to replace current logistical models.
