The International University of Logistics and Transport in Wrocław is the only higher education institution in Poland to have joined the elite group of CILT members, meeting the highest criteria associated with obtaining CILT accreditation. Thus, the Wrocław university has joined an elite group of universities and institutes, such as Oxford Brookes University, Cardiff University, and the London Institute of Shipping and Trade.
