Thematic Conferences & Seminars

Within this track, HESTIM regularly organizes conferences led by professionals in logistics, transport and supply chain management. These sessions allow students to explore current challenges in flow management, supply chain organization and transformations in the logistics sector.

Topics covered include supply chain digitalization, logistics flow optimization, transport operations management and emerging trends in international logistics.

These exchanges bridge academic learning with professional practices and market realities.

And that is not all: at HESTIM, students themselves organize their professional conferences.

HESTIM encourages third-year students to organize professional conferences themselves. This experience strengthens their project management, communication and leadership skills while preparing them for professional life.

​

The conference “Artificial Intelligence Serving Startups,” recently organized by students, was highly successful, bringing together innovation experts and entrepreneurs and demonstrating their ability to lead discussions on major current issues.

Company Visits & Field Immersion

Convinced of the importance of professional immersion, HESTIM places strong emphasis on field exposure and a practical understanding of professional environments related to logistics and transport. Within this track, company and industrial-site visits are regularly organized so students can directly observe logistics operations and supply chains.

These immersive experiences provide an opportunity to discover how logistics platforms are organized, how goods flows and distribution systems are managed, and how transport and coordination processes operate among supply chain stakeholders. They also provide insight into current sector challenges, including flow optimization, inventory management, operations planning and the integration of technology into logistics management.

PMP Certification Preparation

Within this track, students develop sought-after skills in logistics, transport and project management.

Through HESTIM’s partnership with the PMI – Project Management Institute, students can also become familiar with international project management standards and access internationally recognized certification courses.

These skills are a major asset for managing logistics projects and coordinating operations within organizations.

​

Through this exclusive partnership, students benefit from high-quality support and certified learning resources that enhance their academic and professional journey.
