Zaragoza Logistics Center (ZLC)

A unique model of cooperation to enhance competitiveness through supply chain innovation. ZLC has the continued support of local saving banks Ibercaja and CAI.

Zaragoza Logistics Center (ZLC) is a research institute established by the Government of Aragon in Spain in partnership with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the University of Zaragoza. Founded in 2003, the ZLC campus is located in the heart of PLAZA, the largest logistics park in the southwest of Europe that serves as a working laboratory to transfer new knowledge and working practic

es. ZLC has rapidly become recognized as an international center of excellence for education and research in logistics and supply chain management focusing on:

- enhancing economic growth and competitiveness through innovation
- engaging with both industry and the public sector in the development and dissemination of knowledge

To accomplish its mission ZLC partnered with the MIT Center for Transportation and Logistics to form the MIT-Zaragoza International Logistics Program, a unique model of collaboration between industry, government and academia. This successful partnership led to the creation of the MIT Global SCALE Network that now spans four continents. In addition, Zaragoza Logistics Center participates in several national and international research and educational initiatives. In 2008 the Spanish Ministry of Education and Science officially recognized ZLC as a Knowledge Transfer Office (KTO) after previously being designated the National Center of Excellence for research in the area of logistics and supply chain management, CNC LOGISTICA, in 2006. This latest recognition puts ZLC in the leading role to define and coordinate research, development and innovation initiatives across Spain in logistics and supply chain management. This activity is partially funded by the European Social Fund in the framework of the Operational Programme 2007-2013, “Building Europe from Aragon”

Throughout the week, students from our Master's programs presented the results of their research and applied projects, addressing some of the most relevant challenges facing today's logistics and supply chain industry.

From AI-driven decision-making, supply chain planning, and network optimization to transportation redesign, warehouse operations, process automation, sustainability initiatives, and international market analysis, the diversity of topics reflected the breadth and complexity of modern supply chains.

💡 Beyond the projects themselves, what stood out most was the students' ability to connect analytical rigor with practical implementation, transforming complex challenges into actionable solutions with real-world impact.

🌍 Across all presentations, a common theme emerged: understanding context, identifying opportunities, and driving meaningful improvements in an increasingly dynamic and interconnected world.

And this is just the beginning. Next week, we will celebrate the graduation of our students, a milestone that marks not an end, but the start of what comes next.

👏🏻 Congratulations to the entire Class of 2026 on this remarkable achievement. We are proud of everything you have accomplished and excited to see the impact you will create in the future.

A huge thank you to Santiago Blasco, Delivery Station Manager at Amazon in Zaragoza, for joining us and sharing such an inspiring session with our students.

During the session, Santiago gave our students an inside look into the immense opportunities that Amazon can offer to future professionals. He walked us through the most in demand roles, Area Manager & Shift Manager, shared practical advice on how to access opportunities and navigate Amazon’s selection process and explained what a typical day looks like in those positions.

Students also gained valuable insights into the onboarding journey and discovered the endless learning and development possibilities available through Amazon’s own university and internal training ecosystem.

La semana pasada, Aldo Arranz-López, Investigador de Zaragoza Logistics Center (ZLC), participó en el ciclo de charlas de 𝗣𝗶𝗻𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗦𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 con su sesión sobre “𝘋𝘪𝘨𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘻𝘢𝘤𝘪ó𝘯 𝘺 𝘮𝘰𝘷𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘥𝘢𝘥 𝘦𝘯 𝘭𝘢 𝘤𝘪𝘶𝘥𝘢𝘥 𝘥𝘦 15’”.

Durante la charla, Aldo nos hizo reflexionar sobre cómo el teletrabajo o las compras online están cambiando nuestra forma de movernos y cómo, en muchos casos, lo digital ya supera a lo presencial en términos de eficiencia. Un enfoque innovador basado en la 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗱𝗮𝗱 𝗔𝘂𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗱𝗮 que nos invita a repensar la movilidad urbana ➡️ https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0966692324002357

𝗣𝗶𝗻𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗦𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 es un festival internacional que acerca la ciencia a la sociedad en un formato accesible y cercano, sacando la investigación de los laboratorios para llevarla a un entorno tan cotidiano como los bares. Durante tres días, investigadores de todo el mundo comparten su conocimiento en un ambiente relajado, fomentando el diálogo directo con el público.

¡Un placer compartir conocimiento en un entorno tan cercano y diferente!🍻
