Activities and Events

This 20-hour course, divided into five sessions of four hours each, introduces students to the use of digital twins in optimizing supply chain logistics. Using a real-life business case from a European multinational company, students will learn to identify and resolve common logistics challenges through simulation exercises. Each session will focus on a specific problem, combining theory and hands-on simulation with AnyLogistix 3, Excel, and Matlab to demonstrate practical solutions. 

Also, generative AI will be requested to be used for analytic purposes. 

Number of ECTS: 3

Prerequisites: A B2 Level of English is needed. 

Methodology: Problem-based learning, Online lectures, presentations. Simulation based learning, and teamworking will be used as methodologies. 

Evaluation will be done through online tests and practical activities uploaded in the virtual classroom.

Navigating the COVID-19 pandemic as an individual was excruciating: from the fear of the unknown to lockdowns, it affected social interactions, education and societal coherence. For researchers and politicians, however, balancing individual responsibilities with innovative but untested technologies, macro-economic decisions and unprecedented scrutiny became an impossible task. In this simulation workshop, we want to know: how would you have handled the pressure?

Are you passionate about health innovation and eager to explore its intersection with academia, industry, and politics? Are you ready to dive into a dynamic and interdisciplinary environment to tackle global challenges? 

Why Apply?

This unique workshop offers:

• A high-profile conference experience on health innovation at large-scale facilities featuring top researchers from EUGLOH and beyond on 2 June 2025
• Hands-on participation in student-led simulation workshops focusing on global health crises, including:
• The Ebola epidemic
• The COVID pandemic
• Immersive case studies to analyze the roles of key stakeholders: EU Parliament, fundamental research, media, and industry.
• A cultural experience: Enjoy a harbor tour of Hamburg, an event with VR (please register for this separately here after April 1 for organizational reasons) and a joint dinner to foster community and wellbeing.
• A platform to hone your skills, connect with peers and experts, and contribute to a sustainable and innovative future.

The Workshop on the Role of Oceans in Climate Regulation aims at introducing this topic to BSc or MSc students. The work will consists in lectures and in a group project. 

Students will have the opportunity to understand how ocean circulation can be modelled and how it impacts Earth’s climate, how to monitor the oceans, and get an introduction on the water cleaning technologies.

Theoretical lectures will take place in the morning and will be open to remote participants, while the practical sessions in the afternoon will be open to on-site selected candidates from Paris-Saclay University and EUGLOH universities (up to 16 on-site participants will be selected from the partners). These sessions will consist of group student projects with 4 to 6 students, and will have to tackle the understanding of ocean circulation modelling, the impact of ocean on the carbon cycle, surveys of ocean monitoring techniques or of water cleaning technologies. These projects will be supervised by the lecturers. Selection of candidates will be based on pre-requisites in physics, environmental science and on motivation. For online participation, undergraduate students will be prioritized.

All participants will receive a certificate of attendance. On-site participants (Basic Physics Curriculum) will have the opportunity to receive 2.5 ECTS.
