Welcome to the
CoLoSus project
The Competences in Logistics and Sustainability (CoLoSus) project is funded by the NWO Future of work program, which focuses on multidisciplinary research projects that contribute to new knowledge and insights about how to optimally set up a concrete learning-work environment in the logistics sector.
​
The CoLoSus researchers are committed to advancing sustainability competencies in the logistics sector and beyond. Since its conception in 2020, the CoLoSus project has brought novel contributions to advance theory and practice on individual competences related to sustainability, empowerment, and resilience in logistics and management.
