The congress
ACTIVITIES
Experts from various parts of the world will be speakers on topics such as sustainability in supply chains, circular economy, agro-industry, sustainable mobility, education, urban planning, industry 4.0 and renewable energies.
Professors from different areas will talk to us about their investigative process, allowing them to take advantage of their professional experience to clarify doubts and provide a guide to conduct research.
There will be 2 contests in which anyone can participate with their research, in addition, the winners will have courses sponsored by FlexSim, among others.
In addition to meeting people during the event, there will be a space with various activities for you to create a network of professional contacts.
Guest speakers and professors will participate in an open panel discussion for attendees to ask questions.

Ana Paula Barbosa-Póvoa
She is a tenured professor of Operations and Logistics, in the Department of Engineering and Management of the Instituto Superior Técnico (IST), University of Lisbon. He holds a PhD from Imperial College of Science Technology and Medicine and his research focuses on developing a comprehensive understanding of complex issues in supply chains and operations management, supported by novel systems engineering models and techniques. and sound. He has created and coordinates the Operations and Logistics Management (OpLog) research group at the IST Center for Management Studies. His research has given rise to several national and international awards and he has recently received the honor of being considered the best researcher in Industrial Management at the University of Lisbon. She is editor of the Computers and Chemical Engineering Journal and a member of several editorial boards, including the European Journal of Operational Research, International Journal of Production Economics, TOP, and Operations Research Perspectives.
Transportation Center
and Logistics from MIT
Christopher Mejia Argueta
He is a research scientist at the MIT Center for Transportation and Logistics. He conducts applied research on retail operations and food supply chains for multiple stakeholders, including consumer packaged goods manufacturers, shippers, and retailers at the Food and Retail Operations Lab (FaROL). His research focuses on improving efficiencies, flexibility of multi-stakeholder operations, route-to-market design, and logistics strategies to address changing purchasing patterns, coupling these dynamic consumer profiles with the retail landscape, and reduce unwanted socioeconomic and health problems related to income disparity, social backwardness, food malnutrition, food waste by proposing sustainable policies, business models to help vulnerable segments of the population.
