The Zaragoza Logistics Center (ZLC) is a research institute associated with the University of Zaragoza in Spain and designated by the Ministry of Education and Science in Spain to coordinate CNC-LOGISTICA, the National Center of Excellence in Logistics & Supply Chain Management.
ZLC is a member of the MIT Global SCALE Network. Other Network members include: the MIT Center for Transportation & Logistics (MIT CTL) in Cambridge, Massachusetts and the Center for Latin American Logistics Innovation (CLI) in Bogota, Colombia.
The ZLC partnered with MIT CTL in 2003 to create the MIT Zaragoza International Logistics Program, a unique research and education alliance that brings together the supply chain interests of academia, industry and government – all linked to the development of PLAZA, the largest logistics park in Europe.
Research initiatives in the MIT-Zaragoza International Logistics Program leverage the combined resources of the MIT laboratories and the large-scale industrial laboratory of PLAZA to develop cutting-edge concepts and technologies. The ZLC also offers masters, doctoral, and executive education programs, taught in both English and Spanish, to students from around the world.
