Support Association

The Sponsoring Association ISCM-HSG plays a leading role in the German-speaking region in the application-oriented research and dissemination of innovative approaches for the supply chain management of the future.

By supporting relevant application-oriented research projects at the University of St.Gallen, the ISCM-HSG sponsoring association contributes to the development of the next generation of concepts, methods and instruments in supply chain management, logistics, purchasing and freight transport.

As a cross-industry and cross-institutional platform between science and practice, the ISCM-HSG Support Association strengthens the targeted development of competence in and the exchange of experience between companies, among other things in the form of exclusive networking events (Management Board Summit SCM, St. Gallen Supply Chain Innovation Day, etc.).

The ISCM-HSG Support Association offers its members and patrons various services in the field of applied research and continuing education provided by the Institute for Supply Chain Management (ISCM-HSG) at the University of St.Gallen.

The Support Association ISCM-HSG focuses on research and education activities on supply chain management, logistics, purchasing and freight transport at the University of St.Gallen.

It exclusively supports the Institute for Supply Chain Management (ISCM-HSG) at the University of St.Gallen.

Association members pay contributions to the ISCM-HSG Support Association and in return receive selected services from the Institute for Supply Chain Management (reciprocal services).

The contributions to be paid to the Sponsoring Association ISCM-HSG can be declared as donations for accounting purposes.

Specifically, the Sponsoring Association ISCM-HSG commissions the Institute to provide selected services for the benefit of the Sponsoring Association and thus the members of the Association.

The services to be provided for the benefit of individual association members depend on the selected membership category.

In addition to services to be provided individually for individual members of the association, the ISCM-HSG can also place orders with the Institute for Supply Chain Management of the University of St.Gallen in the sense of a consortium project. In this case, the Institute shall prepare a corresponding offer (including the settlement of the counter-performance) to the ISCM-HSG in advance.

The Sponsoring Association ISCM-HSG is an independent, non-profit institution. It is neither personally nor institutionally intertwined with the Institute for Supply Chain Management at the University or other institutions.

The Institute supports the operational work of the Friends Association ISCM-HSG upon request. The Support Association will be constituted and start its operational activities in the first quarter of 2018.
