Ila Manuj, associate professor of logistics, earned a Marie Curie International Incoming Fellowship to Austria from the European Commission to research supply chain complexity in industrial supply chains. The commission selects high-quality scientific and technological researchers as fellows to work on projects that encourage cooperation between Europe and other parts of the world. For her 16-month project that began in May, Manuj is working with researchers at Fachhochschule Steyer to better understand, define and measure complexity in a supply chain, as a product moves from source to customer. Her work could help companies improve their supply chain performance.

She is being hosted by Logistikum, the logistics competence center at the University of Applied Sciences Upper Austria.
