Track 2: Procurement, Supply Management, and E-Procurement
This track addresses the strategic core of supply chains: procurement and supply management systems.
We invite research that: Diagnoses and analyses the current state of procurement systems in Libya, Examines digital transformation in procurement enhanced by AI, Explores supplier relationship management (SRM), Applies Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) models, Addresses ethical procurement practices, Develops governance frameworks that enhance transparency, efficiency, and value creation in both public and private sectors

Track 3: Technology, AI and Digital Transformation
A special session will focus on applications of: Artificial Intelligence (AI) Internet of Things (IoT) Blockchain technology and their role in transport optimisation, Smart warehousing, Transparency enhancement, Risk management across supply chains

Track 4: Financing and Investment in Logistics Infrastructure
This track examines mechanisms for attracting domestic and foreign investment in: Ports, Airports Logistics zones
Multimodal transport infrastructure, It also explores Public–Private Partnership (PPP) models and innovative financing structures

Track 5: Sustainability and Operational Efficiency
This track focuses on: Sustainable logistics practices,Clean and green energy solutions
Waste reduction strategies, Circular economy integration, Operational efficiency improvement and cost optimisation

Track 6: Logistics Management and Specialised Logistics
This track covers general logistics management and lean supply chains. Given the critical importance of Libya’s oil and gas sector, a dedicated session will address: Oil and gas logistics challenges, Distribution network management, Integration with global energy supply chains

Track 7: Tendering, Contract, and Project Management
This track focuses on the legal, financial, and operational backbone of major infrastructure and logistics projects
Topics include: Best practices in tendering and bid evaluation, International contract standards such as FIDIC, Risk allocation, Contract administration, Claims and dispute resolution, Performance management, Integration of contract management with overall project delivery in
Libyan, regional, and international contexts

Track 8: Supply Chains within Global Economics and International Trade
This track explores the organic relationship between international trade dynamics and supply chain structures, focusing on how logistical flows are influenced by global economic variables. It aims to analyze the impact of monetary and fiscal policies, trade agreements, and economic blocs on the efficiency of goods and services delivery, and the role of supply chains as a strategic tool for enhancing national competitive advantage in global markets.
Proposed Research Contributions:
The impact of exchange rate fluctuations and global inflation on cross-border supply chain costs.
The role of Special Economic Zones (SEZs) and Free Zones in boosting international trade and attracting Foreign Direct Investment (FDI).
Analyzing the impact of regional trade agreements (e.g., AfCFTA) on logistical corridors.
The economics of ports and logistical services as a pillar for economic diversification in rentier economies.
The impact of trade protectionism and geopolitical conflicts on reshaping global supply maps (Near-shoring & Friend-shoring).
Global Value Chains (GVCs) and value-added analysis in international trade.

Track 9:Integration of Project Management, Occupational Safety, and Operational Excellence in Supply Chains
This track bridges the executive efficiency of logistical projects with the necessity of preserving human and physical capital. It focuses on applying advanced project management methodologies in developing supply chain facilities, alongside adopting Occupational Health and Safety (HSE) standards as an integral part of business continuity and the mitigation of accidents and operational disruptions in warehouses and logistical sites.
Proposed Research Contributions:
Applying project management methodologies (Agile, Lean, PMP) in logistical infrastructure development.
Managing occupational risks in warehouses, ports, and inland transportation.
The impact of adopting international safety standards (ISO 45001) on productivity and supply chain efficiency.
Total Quality Management (TQM) and achieving operational excellence in logistical operations.
Project management challenges in complex environments or post-conflict zones.
Utilizing modern technology (e.g., Digital Twins) for accident simulation and enhancing safety team readiness.
Integrating safety management systems with waste reduction strategies in supply chains.
