Research
We transform global challenges into real solutions through high-impact collaborative projects.
How does collaboration turn research into real-world impact?
At ZLC, we view research as a transformative tool to solve real-world challenges in the logistics sector. As a member of the MIT Global SCALE Network—a world-renowned alliance for supply chain research and education—we actively participate in projects funded at regional, national, and international levels. These projects are carried out both independently and in collaboration with universities, companies, and public institutions.
Our projects focus on key areas such as sustainability, process digitalization, urban mobility, risk management, and resource planning. We collaborate with European organizations such as Horizon Europe, with the Government of Aragón, and with the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation, as well as with major multinationals and innovative SMEs.
Through this work, we transfer knowledge to the productive sector and position Zaragoza as a leading logistics hub in Europe.
