Positioning of DIGILOG project
DIGILOG (Digital and Intelligent Urban Logistics for Sustainable Cities) is a Jean Monnet Module funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union. The project focuses on the role of advanced digital technologies in transforming urban logistics and last-mile distribution, in line with the EU’s priorities for the green and digital transition.
DIGILOG explores how Artificial Intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), and Blockchain—key pillars of Industry 4.0—can be applied in a cohesive and integrated way to address major challenges faced by modern cities, such as congestion, inefficiency, environmental impact, and transparency in logistics operations

The DIGILOG project—Digital and Intelligent Urban Logistics for Sustainable Cities—convened its kick-off meeting at the outset of the project to formally launch the Jean Monnet Module and align the team on the implementation roadmap. The project is led by the Department of Agribusiness and Supply Chain Management (DASCM) at the Agricultural University of Athens (AUA), with Associate Professor Giannis T. Tsoulfas serving as Project Manager and Academic Coordinator, responsible for the development of the module content, guidance of project activities, and the project’s overall progress, including the Round Table events.
During the meeting, the team confirmed the structure and focus of the three-year, free, synchronous distance-learning module, organised around three specialised submodules: AI-Driven Applications in Urban Logistics, IoT for Smart Urban Logistics, and Blockchain in Last-Mile Distribution. The consortium also reviewed the engagement plan that includes three Round Table sessions in Athens (one at the end of each submodule), with 30+ attendees, and live webinar broadcasting to ensure broader accessibility.
In addition, the kick-off meeting established the project’s quality and impact framework, including participant feedback collection and independent third-party evaluation, as well as the communication and dissemination approach that begins from Month 1 and is supported through a dedicated project identity, a regularly updated website, social media presence (LinkedIn/Instagram/Bluesky), brochures, policy briefs, and scientific publications.
