C³M, founded at the end of the year 2013, integrates the research efforts of the ERCIS network in the domain of crisis management and humanitarian logistics.
Within the context of supporting the effectiveness of logistics to humanitarian operations, the activities of C³M primarily aim at improving the modelling, analysis, simulation and decision support of humanitarian logistics processes as well as the evaluation and design of of appropriate information systems.
LET’S WORK TOGETHER!
Our Work
The C3M concentrates on six research topics within the field of crisis management and humanitarian logistics, starting at the visualisation of processes within humanitarian organisations up to the coordination of humanitarian supply chains in disaster relief operations.

WE WORK WITH
Our Networks
ERCIS locations are research institutions mainly from Europe, but also from around the world, that have long-standing connections with the network. All ERCIS locations are outstanding Information Systems institutions, and, more importantly, the personal relations and close ties between the researchers lead to short communication lines and reliable structures for joint research endeavours.
About OUR PARTNERS
Our work is strengthened through collaboration with leading international organizations that bridge research, industry, and real-world impact. Together with ISCRAM, we engage in advancing digital solutions for crisis management and resilience. In partnership with IMMIDD, we contribute to cutting-edge discussions on data-driven innovation and decision-making. Alongside BVL, we connect research with logistics practice, fostering efficient and sustainable supply chain solutions.
These collaborations enable us to combine academic insight with practical expertise, creating meaningful contributions across technology, data science, and applied research.
