The winner of this year’s EURO Gold Medel is Luk Van Wassenhove. Luk is having an amazing career, and I am delighted in this award to him. In my previous incarnation as President of the Carnegie Bosch Institute, I was able to support some of his work in full cycle logistics and he was a member of my Advisory Committee. Congratulations Luk!
In addition to his work in reverse logistics, Luk has also been a creator of the field “Humanitarian Logistics”. Luk began with work with the Red Cross, trying to change their view from “responsiveness” to preparation.
