The Technologies for Supply Chain Management (TSCM 2026) Conference is an event co-organised by BRU-Iscte and EAI European Alliance for Innovation and brings together researchers, practitioners, and policy makers to advance the design, deployment, and governance of technologies across end-to-end supply chains. It will be held at Iscte (Lisbon) on September 9-10, 2026.
We welcome theoretical, empirical, design-science, and industry case papers that push the frontier of efficiency, transparency, sustainability, and resilience.
Launching TSCM 2026 is essential to address the growing complexity and volatility of global supply chains. By focusing on intelligent and resilient systems, the conference will unite academia, industry, and policymakers to advance cutting-edge technologies like AI, IoT, blockchain, and automation, that drive efficiency, transparency, sustainability, and risk mitigation across supply chains’ operations.
