Centre for Transport and Logistics

The research Centre for Transport and Logistics (CTL) at the University of Rome “La Sapienza” was founded in 2003 with the support of the Italian Ministry of “Education University and Research”. It is dedicated to research, education and training and it administers in fact a Master's program in “Transport and Logistics” as well as several professional courses.

CTL’s activities encompass both contributions to basic researches on transport systems and logistic and practical applications for government and industry. The main sectors of activity are: urban transport, logistics and freight transport, road safety, innovative transport systems.

CTL’s research has a multidisciplinary approach and it integrates different competencies. Several engineering departments provide CTL with their expertise, not only in transport and logistics issues but also in mechanical engineering, telecommunications and computer science.

The organization has been coordinating several European projects with extra-EU partners in North Africa, Brazil and India. The continuous exchange of information and ideas among academic faculty and experts from industry makes CTL a dynamic research centre.

Its relevant experience in leading international projects made it suitable for making up coordination activities of the project. Moreover, CTL is involved in all WPs and it will guarantee the links between Local Universities, EU Universities and European Commission.
