Rethinking global supply chains: insights for a changing world

Geopolitical tensions and profound changes in the structure of the global economy are transforming global supply chains while they remain as important as ever. This makes it more important than ever to understand their structure and dynamic. The Horizon Europe project ReThinkGSC set out to do exactly that: deepen our understanding of global supply chain by investigating their impact on economy, environment and society, evaluate their resilience to shocks and by developing new methodologies to investigate the role of services and knowledge flows in the global economy. In this event, we presented the results from this research conducted by more than 30 researchers at 11 institutions, and the learnings that can be derived from it for policy.

The project “Rethinking Global Supply Chains: measurement, impact and policy” (RETHINK-GSC) has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon Europe research and innovation programme under grant agreement number 101061123.
