The aim of the NORDLOG doctoral day is to provide PhD students with professional skills for their academic career. In addition, the doctoral day is an event where doctoral researchers can network and build relationships among fellow young scholars within the field of supply chain management and logistics, while learning from senior researchers. The colloquium is open for doctoral students at different stages of their project.

At Nofoma 2023, the overarching theme of the doctoral day is relevance. It is a full-day event arranged from 9-16 in the 14th of June 2023 hosted by Aalto School of Business and Hanken. The first half of the day will focus on practical presentation skills in the form of an interactive workshop. In the afternoon the doctoral day will join forces with the Educators’ day for a session on how to integrate AI tools in research, followed by a panel on how research can be relevant in the industry.
