NOFOMA network has traditionally two particular objectives:
- forum for presenting contributed research papers, and
- forum for disseminating information on research interests, ongoing research, etc

NOFOMA is nowadays the most significant forum of scientific activities within the field of logistics in Nordic countries and around the Baltic Sea.

All research which contributes to understanding or management of logistics issues relevant to Nordic Countries is welcome. We sustain all acceptable scientific methods and research approaches.

Logistics is that part of the supply chain process that plans, implements, and controls the efficient, effective flow and storage of goods, services, and related information from the point of origin to the point of consumption in order to meet customers' requirements.
(Council of Logistics Management)

The NOFOMA tradition grows from a dual background: business and engineering. Whereby aspects of logistics research tend to be widely covered and represented in each conference. NOFOMA has long functioned as an effectual way and forum of cooperation of, as well as dissemination between, institutions and research groups of both sorts.

The place of the annual conference alternates between countries.
