The International Centre for Innovation and Industrial Logistics (ICIIL) is a non-profit professional association which has been developing an integrated view of Industrial Logistics and international exchanges among students, researchers, academics and industrialists, as well as promoting the field of Industrial Logistics Modeling in general.

The biannual International Conference on Industrial Logistics (ICIL) is the main means to attain these objectives worldwide. This is exactly what the conference has done, moving from France (ICIL ’93), to Brazil (ICIL ’95), USA (ICIL '97), Russia (ICIL ’99), Okinawa (ICIL ’01), Finland (ICIL ’03), Uruguay (ICIL ’05) and Lithuania (ICIL '06) since 1993.
