An open seminar entitled “Global Supply Chains in Transition: Decarbonization, Sovereignty, and Resilience” was held on September 30, 2026, at the Tokyo Campus of the University of Tsukuba.
The seminar was organized as part of the international collaborative research project “SCARCITIES,” conducted in collaboration with National Taiwan University and Université Grenoble Alpes.
We welcomed Professor Jiuh-Biing Sheu from National Taiwan University and Professor Karine Samuel from Université Grenoble Alpes, who delivered presentations followed by a joint discussion and Q&A session.
The seminar covered a range of topics, including supply chain resilience, decarbonization, the electronics industry, and economic autonomy (economic sovereignty). These discussions provided valuable insights for students interested in international business, sustainability, and global strategy.
