ALICE Secretariat
The ALICE Secretariat is the team that supports ALICE, its members and governance bodies in delivering the association’s mission.
Based in Brussels and working across Europe, the Secretariat provides the coordination, facilitation and continuity needed to implement and develop ALICE’s activities. It supports members, Thematic Groups, Communities, projects, events, policy work and knowledge-sharing initiatives, helping turn shared priorities into practical action.
Through this work, the Secretariat enables the ALICE ecosystem to collaborate on logistics innovation, sustainability and competitiveness across Europe.
Supporting ALICE’s mission
The Secretariat works closely with the Board of Directors, Executive Group, and members to implement ALICE’s strategic priorities.
The team helps connect research, industry needs, policy developments and market deployment, ensuring that ALICE remains an active and trusted platform for logistics innovation in Europe.
Connecting members, activities and generating impact
A key role of the Secretariat is to connect people and ideas across the logistics innovation ecosystem.
The team supports collaboration between companies, research organisations, public authorities, associations, technology providers, and other stakeholders. It also helps ensure that project results, member expertise and developments are effectively integrated to support ALICE's strategic objectives.
This enables ALICE to strengthen the link between research, innovation and deployment, supporting solutions that can deliver practical value for European industry, society and the environment.
