The European Supply Chain Forum (ESCF) enables professionals in and around supply chains to create, exchange and integrate knowledge by collectively exploring the future. In 1996, the European Supply Chain Forum (ESCF) was founded by TU/e academics when a 2-day lasting meeting was organized, connecting 30 leading global players to share problems and insights related to Supply Chain Management. The key idea was to build a lasting community that gathered leading global players to share ideas and help each other in the area of Operations and Supply Chain Management. Throughout the years, the ESCF constantly kept discussing and exploring hot topics together with our members. This led to inspirational and memorable moments like the launch event ‘Supply Chain Renaissance: human capital as a key enabler’ in 2014 with speakers like prof Hau Lee, Harrie de Haas and Roeland Baaijens. To match the growth and potential of the ESCF eco-system, the ESCF value delivery is updated in 2018. Together with our members, the ESCF updated their delivery and way of work to better connect talent, knowledge, and network. To accelerate learning, the ESCF team expands and three brand new communities are set up to enrich the already existing eco-system. In short, we focus on connecting the network, knowledge, and talent by: • Providing a global, interactive platform for our members to exchange key supply chain and operations management solutions and best-in-class operating practices, adhering to fundamental ethical principles. • Promoting the application of world-class research into supply chain and operations management phenomena to opportunity areas in member companies. • Facilitating joint projects to encourage innovation and provide a competitive advantage to members'​ supply chains. • Providing a full-service talent development package, including the full range of training for (future) supply chain and operations management professionals.
