Frankfurt Air Cargo Exchange 27.08.2025
Frankfurt Air Cargo Exchange is a forum for air cargo academics with a strong interest in making impactful contributions to the industry. The importance of research in air cargo is growing with the challenges in the market, including the push for digitalization, workforce demographics, political instability, sustainability targets and many others.
We invite presentations in the domain of air cargo across the entire spectrum of methodologies. Frankfurt ACX encourages the active exchange and networking of (young) researchers through active discussion.
There are two presentation formats:
- Full presentation including feedback from a discussant: Please submit an extended abstract of approximately 750 words. The abstract should state the aim and contribution of the research, methodology and initial results. Participants are requested to submit a draft version of their paper prior to the event to allow a discussant to comment on their presentation.
- Research Pitch: Please submit an extended abstract of approximately 400 words. It should state the aim of the research, the expected contribution and initial results. This format is designed to showcase early stage research and invite discussion with the audience.
