On November 20–21, 2025, the official kick-off meeting of the international educational and logistics project InfoCoL took place in Istanbul, Turkey. The project aims to develop and implement innovative training approaches in the field of temperature-controlled food logistics (cold chain). The project is implemented with the support of the European Union under the Erasmus+ KA220-VET program.

The Association "UKRZOVNISHTRANS" was represented by Mr. Oleg Platonov, President of the Association "UKRZOVNISHTRANS," and Ms. Inessa Platonova, Head of Development Projects and Educational Programs. Together with our international partners—Maltepe University (Turkey), the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure of the Republic of Turkey, the Association of International Forwarding and Logistics Service Providers (UTIKAD), the Association of Freight Forwarders of Portugal (APAT), and the Poznań University of Economics and Business (Poland)—we refined the project's objectives, work packages, and the distribution of tasks.

Special attention was paid to the issues of process standardization, advanced training for logistics professionals, and the implementation of modern IT solutions for cold chain management. The two-day event program was organized and hosted by Maltepe University.

The participation of the Association "UKRZOVNISHTRANS" in the InfoCoL project highlights our commitment to the continuous competence development of Ukrainian freight forwarders and logisticians, as well as our readiness to implement the best global practices amidst the current challenges of full-scale aggression.
