Zaragoza Logistics Center (ZLC) is a research institute established by the Government of Aragon in Spain in partnership with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the University of Zaragoza. Founded in 2003, the ZLC campus is located at "Dinamiza business park," designed to meet companies' space and work needs after the EXPO Zaragoza 2008. ZLC's mission is to create an international center of excellence for research and education in logistics and SCM that actively engages with industry and the public sector to develop and disseminate knowledge.
To accomplish its mission, ZLC partnered with the MIT Center for Transportation and Logistics to form the MIT-Zaragoza International Logistics Program, a unique collaboration model between industry, government, and academia. This successful partnership led to the creation of the MIT Global SCALE Network that now spans four continents. Also, Zaragoza Logistics Center participates in several national and international research and educational initiatives.
In 2008 the Spanish Ministry of Education and Science officially recognized ZLC as a Knowledge Transfer Office (KTO). ZLC is a member of the National Center of Excellence for research in logistics and supply chain management, CNC LOGISTICA, which was created in 2006 by ZLC and three other institutions. This center's participation puts ZLC in a leading role to define and coordinate research, development, and innovation initiatives across Spain in logistics and supply chain management.ZLC has the continued support of local saving bank Ibercaja and the European Social Fund in its activities.
The European Commission has awarded ZLC with The Erasmus Charter for Higher Education (ECHE). The ECHE provides the general quality framework for European and international cooperation activities a higher education institution (HEI) may carry out within the Programme. The award of an Erasmus Charter for Higher Education is a pre-requisite for all institutions wishing to participate in Erasmus+ and participate in individuals' learning mobility and cooperation for innovation and acceptable practices under the Programme.
