Global supply and value chains are facing unprecedented challenges: Political and economic crises, environmental crises and social tensions – a dense sequence of “polycrises” – are putting pressure on these networks and challenging their stability and resilience. In the face of these developments, there is an urgent need to develop innovative, sustainable and resilient solutions to sustain global supply and value chains.
As part of the DFG research impulse, our new Competence Centre has been created to address precisely these challenges. With the Kick-off Conference, we want not only to present the scientific goals and approaches of our Centre, but also to start a dialogue with a broad community from academia, civil society, the public and business. This event offers a unique opportunity to learn about the research of our members in the field of resilient value chains, to establish initial networks and to jointly develop perspectives for future projects.
In addition to the members of the Competence Centre, we will discuss with Prof. Dr. Gale Raj-Reichert (Bard College Berlin), Prof. Dr. Florian Butollo (WZB, TU Berlin), Dr. Nele Kampffmeyer (Öko-Institut Berlin), Johanna Sydow (Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung), Finn Schufft (Germanwatch) and Inga Carry (Stiftung Wissenschaft und Politik).
