14th International Conf on Logistics & Maritime Systems/2nd EURO Mini Conf on Maritime Optimization & Logistics (EUROMar 2026). Jul 7-10, 2026. Barcelona, Spain. Submission of Abstracts: March 1, 2026

Call for Papers

We are pleased to invite you to attend and participate in the joint conference of the 14th International Conference on Logistics and Maritime Systems (LOGMS 2026) and the Euro Mini Conference on Maritime and Port Logistics (EUROMar 2026), which will take place on 7-10 July 2026 in Barcelona, Spain. Looking ahead, the theme will be Networks, Energy and Intelligence: Designing the Next Generation of Maritime Logistics. LOGMS provides a platform for establishing international networks among researchers and practitioners in logistics and maritime systems. The LOGMS conference is a meeting among maritime logistics and systems experts to share research methodologies and results with each other and explore future development directions. We hope that all people in this area are able to acquire useful information from this event and contribute to improving this platform.

A pre-conference hands-on tutorial will be organized on 7th July 2026, targeting PhD students and early-career researchers. A practical one-day training on a contemporary methodology (e.g., Reinforcement learning, bi-level optimization) with a clear application in logistics will be provided.

Aims and Scope

The logistics and maritime industry is more and more driven by AI-enabled optimization and analytics, harnessing the vast amount of data generated everywhere in supply chains, including real-time data from IoT devices. This trend raises numerous research inquiries spanning areas like the operational management of autonomous vessels and transport equipment, gaining deeper insights into markets through the analysis of demand and price data, exploring new forms of collaboration, evaluating environmental impacts of systems and actors, and many more. Emerging innovations and smart technologies hold the potential to empower various stakeholders within the logistics and maritime sector, enabling them to make informed decisions, achieve heightened levels of performance, enhance sustainability, and ultimately bolster their competitive edge.

The organizers of LOGMS 2026 and EUROMar2026 cordially invite you to submit your paper to this conference to join an open academic discussion on related topics. All papers related to theoretical developments and practical applications of logistics and maritime systems are welcome. We especially welcome application case studies from industries.
