To acknowledge the achievements and inspire the R&I community of the logistics sector, ALICE launched the first Innovation Award in April this year. The first award has been focused on successful implementation cases stemming from R& I projects in logistics coordination and collaboration. We invite you to join the online event when the winners will be announced. At the ceremony we will launch a cloud report presenting main outcomes and implementation cases derived from the R&I projects as potential implementation paths on logistics collaboration and coordination

Recently we hosted the session on Artificial Intelligence in ports and freight transport applications. As next step, we are organizing this webinar in which our distinguished speakers will briefly share the application area they are working in, the problem they are addressing, why and how AI is the right technology and how the solution is technically realized. Our speakers will share their experience, learnings and next steps. We will be able to discuss and ask questions to them.

The 2021 POLIS Annual Conference will take place on 1-2 December in Gothenburg, Sweden. The POLIS Annual Conference provides an opportunity for cities and regions to showcase their transport achievements to a large audience of mobility experts, practitioners and decision makers. Following our strategic partnership with POLIS, ALICE will be delighted to join the conference together with projects ALICE coordinates and participates. Registration with early-bird rates apply until 22 October 2021. More information, please check the conference website here.

In line with the Transport White Paper, 30% of road freight over 300 km should shift to rail or waterborne transport by 2030, and more than 50 % by 2050. Smaller ships with more automation and autonomy in waterborne transport is a promising solution for improving the competitive edge of waterborne logistics as compared to road transport. Increased cargo unit standardisation may be a key element in enabling more efficient and more cost-effective autonomous cargo operations. This webinar will highlight some possibilities and challenges in cargo unit standardization.   Registration is open: here More information is available AEGIS project website.

ALICE is looking for a Project Support and Knowledge Manager who will be employed on a full-time basis.
