Team
The team is made up of professors and lecturers from our UPHF university and partners from our region's ecosystems and industry.
The aim is to take advantage of the polytechnic spirit of our establishment in order to offer an adequate response to the multidisciplinary issues presented by all complex systems today, and in particular the question of implementing the Circular Economy.
Owner
The Chairholder is the internationally renowned Professor Joseph Sarkis of Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) in the United States, who perfectly meets the scientific and academic requirements.
He is currently Professor of Operations and Supply Chain Management at WPI's Foisie Business School. His research interests include sustainability and its link to supply chain management, technology management and the circular economy. He received his Ph.D. in Management Science from the University at Buffalo in 1992.
He is the editor of several books, published by "Spring-Nature", on the theme of greening industrial networks. He is also international coordinator of the Greening of Industry Network (GIN). He is the organizer of the global circular economy working group and also the leader of the Future Earth working group.
He has been recognized as a "Highly Cited Researcher" by Web-of-Science in 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020. He is among the top 0.1% of researchers worldwide in terms of citations. Other studies have shown that Professor Sarkis is the world's most productive researcher in supply chain management.
Another study, based on the work of Stanford professor John Ioannidis, showed that he was also one of the most cited researchers over the last 50 years in operations research.

Working group
It consists of three concentric layers:
- The core formed by professors and lecturers from our LAMIH laboratory. This core (A. Ait EL Cadi, A. Bekrar and R. Tdodosijevic with the support of key figures from the university, who are putting their networks at the service of the core) forms the base that our university offers to ensure the success and follow-up of this project. It is a core of skills in logistics, transport, modeling, simulation, optimization, data science, design analysis and management of logistics systems ... The purpose of the core is to ensure the realization of the project, form the foundation and guarantee access to these external skills (credibility).
- The second layer draws its material from all the constituents of the university and its network (Automatics, Mechanics, Electronics, Telecommunications, Economics, Management, Legal, ...). This layer will provide access to the technological resources needed to answer the questions raised by the Chair. It will help to integrate technological services and different types of knowledge at the service of the service economy.
- The third layer is made up of our ecosystem partners within our region. It will help ensure the successful implementation of solutions created within the Chair. And promote the integration of all the developments and solutions imagined, adapting them to the realities of ecosystems and industrialists.
