16th Biennial International Conference on Industrial Logistics (ICIL 2025)
Dates: October 30 – November 2, 2025
Location: Ritsumeikan University, Tokyo Campus, Japan
The 16th Biennial International Conference on Industrial Logistics (ICIL) 2025 will take place in Tokyo, Japan, from October 30th to November 2nd, 2025, hosted by the International Centre for Innovation and Industrial Logistics (ICIIL) and held at Ritsumeikan University’s Tokyo Campus.
ICIIL is a non-profit professional association that has been developing an integrated view of Industrial Logistics, while sharing and exchanging ideas and research results among professionals, academics, students, and industrialists. The ICIL is the main means of attaining these objectives worldwide, with events held in France (1993), Brazil (1995), the USA (1997), Russia (1999), Japan (2001), Finland (2003), Uruguay (2005), Lithuania (2006), Israel (2008), Brazil (2010), Croatia (2012), Croatia (2014), Poland (2016), Israel (2018), and Croatia (2023). In 2025, Japan will host researchers once more.
The conference will feature a multidisciplinary program that will include original research results and contributions to the fields of logistics and supply chain management. Organizing and Scientific Committees gladly invite professionals, academics, students and industrialists to send contributing papers to the conference. We invite original research that examines the effect of Industry 5.0 on logistics and supply chain management. We also welcome papers on advanced analytics, supply chain optimization, smart and connected logistics, circular economy models, and carbon-neutral operations. Topics such as data-driven decision-making, ethical sourcing, waste reduction, and digital transformation are also highly relevant. We particularly value contributions that demonstrate how novel approaches drive innovation in industrial logistics and supply chain management by connecting theory and practice.
Conference Themes Include:
- Logistics and Distribution
- Digital Logistics Systems
- Procurement and Inventory
- Strategic Supply Chains
- Sustainable Logistics and Waste Management
