Research and policy webinar
November 8, 2024 | online
Globalisation has fundamentally reshaped trade dynamics, value chains and production networks – bringing both opportunities and challenges to the fore. The COVID-19 pandemic, trade conflicts and escalating geopolitical tensions have further highlighted the critical need for resilient and sustainable supply chains. In response, the EU-funded TWIN SEEDS, ReSChape and RETHINK-GSC projects have been launched to explore how we can build supply chains that prioritise social and environmental sustainability, ultimately strengthening Europe’s economic and social fabric.
During this webinar we will look at the latest research findings from these projects and explore their potential impact on EU policymaking.
