Encouraged by last year’s success, the organizers of the Academic Logistics League, the DIALOG Scientific Logistics Circle from the University of Economics in Katowice, and the company Wincanton, invite all students to take part in the 2nd edition of the competition. Teams of up to five people can enter the competition – both those consisting of members of scientific circles and those formed solely for the purpose of the competition. To test your knowledge and practical skills related to logistics, you must register between October 1 and October 18, 2010, at www.allwincanton.pl, and then download, fill out, and send the application form to the organizers. Following the proven formula, ALL Wincanton will take place in four stages. In the first three, competition participants will compete virtually by solving case studies prepared by practitioners and posted on the competition website. Each solution will be evaluated by a jury, and the scoring will create a team ranking. The six best teams will take part in the fourth, final stage – during a conference at the Karol Adamiecki University of Economics in Katowice. There, the finalists will solve the final task and take part in workshops and integration meetings. The main prize in the competition is paid professional internships at the branch of the competition co-organizer – Wincanton, during which substantive logistics knowledge can be tested in practice.
– When we invited students from scientific circles to participate in the first edition of ALL Wincanton a year ago, we did not expect such great interest. Nearly 20 teams signed up for the competition. Encouraged by last year’s success, we decided not only to launch the second edition of the competition but also to expand its formula – this year we invite all students of Polish universities. We believe that this year, too, ALL Wincanton will be characterized by a high substantive level as well as an atmosphere of cooperation – comments Grzegorz Zakrzewski, HR Director at Wincanton Poland, a member of the competition jury.
