The objective of the TWIN SEEDS research project is to study recent evolutions of Global Value Chains (GVC), with the aim of understanding the role played by the ‘twin seeds’ of technological transformations and geopolitical and policy shifts in shaping these changes.
The findings will be used as a basis for EU policy recommendations in a range of key areas including trade, investment, competition and social policy.
The key research questions addressed are:
The analysis will be based on a thorough multi-level (global, national, regional, sectoral, firm level) research framework, relying on a mix of quantitative and qualitative methods, on different multidisciplinary knowledge (regional economists, international economists, international business experts, organisational experts, political scientists) and on an extensive stakeholder engagement.
TWIN SEEDS is funded within the Horizon Europe program, coordinated by Politecnico di Milano (Grant agreement ID: 101056793), involving 10 European partners.
Within TBS Education, the project is led by Dr Louise CURRAN, from the Entrepreneurship & Strategy research laboratory, in partnership with Dr Christian GNEKPE, from the same laboratory. A post-doctoral fellow will be hired to support their work over a period of 18 months.
