Início / Gestão da Distribuição e Logística
Presentation
At a time when the phenomenon of globalisation is unstoppable, when companies not only import and export but also produce, store and distribute products in different countries, the issues inherent to distribution and logistics will undoubtedly become increasingly acute in the immediate future. These observations highlight the importance of specialising in increasingly complex logistical issues and national and international trade, which only higher education can fully address.
ESCE Valença is therefore responsive to the needs of the region in which it is located, while mindful of national and cross-border needs, given its prime location in the centre of the Galicia-Northern Portugal Euroregion. ESCE Valença has adapted the syllabus of its Bachelor’s Degree Course in Logistics and Retailing Management to the Bologna Process, which, in keeping with the criteria and aims of Polytechnic Higher Education, incorporates numerous subjects. Organisation, Strategy and Marketing, Economics, Accounting and Finance, Law and New Information Technologies all play a general role in the first few years of the programme, with specialisation in the area of Logistics as the student progresses through the course.

Funded Projects
As a member of an extended partnership of polytechnics that are part of Demola-Portugal, IPVC is committed to developing co-creation projects between higher education and companies geared towards innovation and the challenges of the future. Demola-Portugal is being developed as part of an international platform – Demola Global – which was initially established in Tampere, Finland and now operates in several other countries around the world.
The Demola project aims to establish a new way of connecting higher education institutions to society and the economy. Companies/organisations interested in innovation pose problems and challenge higher education students to create solutions. One of the most innovative aspects of the Demola methodology is that it involves students, teacher-facilitators and business professionals working together to solve real challenges, producing value (with and for) the local community.
This project involves two applications:
POCH – Training facilitators (teachers) – 14 polytechnics (+ Setúbal)
COMPETE – Project LinkMeUp 1000 ideas – Promoting Entrepreneurship under the programme – Support System for the co-creation of innovation, creativity and entrepreneurship, SIAC, Compete.
The project LinkMeUp 1000 ideas has two main areas of activity:
– The process of co-creating innovation (Demola)
– The creation of an ideas competition (Poliempreende)
Project Sanitop360º– Integration of information flows and forecasting models for inbound and outbound volumes – funded by the Operational Programme for Competitiveness and Internationalisation, supported by the European Commission. FEDER, Project – 45549 – Sanitop – MATERIAL SANITARIO LDA, under 06/SI/2019 – SI QPME (Incentive System for the Qualification and Internationalisation of SMEs) (Funding: €26,000) May 2021 to May 2022.
Project funded by PORTUGAL 2020 / Operational Programme for Competitiveness and Internationalisation. Ref: POCI-02-0853-FEDER-041192.
Pedagogical Project
The GDL programme, like all ESCE degrees, is also involved in the pedagogical project: Integrated Project
The Integrated Project – Leaders for the Future is a project that is an integral and compulsory part of the training given in some course units (CU) of the Bachelor’s Degree in Distribution and Logistics Management, whose main pedagogical objectives to be achieved are:
With this project, students will also develop work methodologies similar to those used in the workplace and, if the project is successful, they will be able to help promote and enhance Alto Minho and the region’s economic development.
