Our research assistant Johannes Rentschler was recently in Kazakhstan and had the opportunity to visit Almaty as part of the cooperation with the German-Kazakh-University (DKU). As part of the research project “Analysis of transport and storage capacities along the Trans-Caspian Railway Route” he was able to conduct several on-site interviews with Kazakh and international logistics companies to take a look at challenges and potentials of the route.

In addition to the project work, the scientific and intercultural exchange was not neglected. In a guest lecture at DKU's LogistikClub, Mr. Rentschler also provided current insights into our research at the Chair.

A big thank you to Prof. Wolrad Rommel and Prof. Stefan Dilfer for the excellent organization – and the hospitality. We are looking forward to the next visit!
