INVITATION TO THE WELCOME CEREMONY OF KLU PRESIDENT PROF. DR. ANDREAS KAPLAN

At this event, we will look into a university world existing in social and technological change and the development of KLU in this landscape.

The official program is shaped significantly by our guests of honor and speakers, including Hamburg's Second Mayor and Senator for Science, Research, and Equality, Katharina Fegebank, the Executive Director of the Kühne Foundation, Dr. Jörg Dräger, and Prof. Andreas Kaplan himself.  We look forward to hearing their thoughts on KLU as it continues to become a university with a global impact.

During the evening, a particular focus will be on sustainability management, both in theory and practice. In the second part of the event our experts will discuss the relevance of scientific research and academic education for the ongoing sustainability transformation of the logistics sector. Moderation by: Melanie Stein. Please find the official program below. 

The event will be held in German, but simultaneous translation to English will be provided.
