We are am excited to congratulate Johannes Rentschler on successfully defending his dissertation!

Johannes Rentschler’s dissertation addresses a highly relevant and complex topic: “Connecting Europe through Intermodal Transportation – Building Efficient Networks and Embracing Digitalization”.

His research sheds light on the challenges of the European intermodal transport market, characterized by diverse stakeholders, varying legal frameworks, and non-standardized processes. With a strong focus on network configuration and the opportunities of digitalization, he researched tailored approaches to systematically tackle these complexities. His work makes a significant contribution to advancing sustainable and efficient transport solutions in Europe.
