Subject(s): Abstract: Ett antal nya och fruktbara internationella samarbetsrelationer inom miljölogistik. En bred sammanställning av det framtida forskningsbehovet inom miljölogistik. Detta är avsett att kunna användas av forskarna själva, men också av olika anslagsgidre som underlag för framtida utlysningar om forskningsmedel. Ett antal uppslag till konkreta projektidéer och likaledes ett antal konkreta förslag på forskningsprojekt.Abstract: The International Workshop has the overall purpose to clarify the future research need concerning logistics and the environment. A few research initiatives within green logistics has been launched (mainly in the UK and in Sweden), however the picture that emerges based on the achievements so far is complex, where the area is fragmented and a theoretical foundation is still missing. There is a need to identify relevant research questions for future research, based on today´s experiences. The goals for the workshop are to, within the area of logistics and the environment: 1) Identify knowledge gaps, 2) Assess the research need from companies and society at large, 3) Suggest an agenda for future research, 4) discuss appropriate methods, and 5) support international networking and research collaboration. A number of new and fruitful international cooperations regarding research on logistics and the environment. A wide summary of the future research need in logistics and the environment. This is aimed to be used by the participating researchers, but also by various funding agencies in future calls for research projects relating to logistics and the environment.
