Research themes

Under REAL’s thematic umbrella—circularity, digital transformation, and competence and organizational development—we adopt a comprehensive and integrated approach to understanding and shaping the future of retail and logistics.

Collectively, these themes address key challenges and opportunities in the sector, with the overarching aim of contributing to a more sustainable and efficient retail and logistics landscape. By integrating insights from these domains, we create a multidisciplinary research environment where knowledge, methods, and perspectives from various disciplines converge. This integrated approach enables a deeper understanding of complex challenges and advances knowledge essential for a sustainable future in retail and logistics.
