The Prolog Doctoral Consortium is intended for PhD students in Logistics, Supply Chain Management or Project Management who wish to present and discuss their doctoral project. The Doctoral Consortium is a forum dedicated to exchange comments, support and feedback to help PhD students to progress in their research work in a constructive manner (on theoretical, methodological and/or epistemological levels). Based on communication proposals submitted and evaluated beforehand, PhD projects will be presented and discussed with fellow PhD students and established researchers in Logistics, Supply Chain Management or Project Management. These communication proposals take the form of a PhD progress report.

The Scientific Committee of the 2021 doctoral consortium is co-chaired by Omar Bentahar and Smail Benzidia (Lorraine University). PhD students should submit a short paper of about 5 to 8 pages (excluding references and annexes) in English or French. These communications will be evaluated anonymously by two evaluators. They must include the feedbacks of the evaluators. Papers that do not respect this limitation in number of pages will be automatically rejected.

The 2021 PROLOG Doctoral Consortium will take place in Luxembourg during PROLOG Conference, 20 June 2021.
