Workshops 

IPSERA wants to promote community building and competence development within the network also between the Annual IPSERA Conferences. Workshops and other events organized by IPSERA members help to achieve that goal.

These workshops can last anything between one afternoon and two days, may be targeted at an audience of practitioners or academics or both, and may be international or not. IPSERA membership is not always required to be able to participate, but does give you rebates on possible registration fees. Workshops with IPSERA funding will typically be organized by an IPSERA RICC or SIG, but workshops organized by other active IPSERA members can also apply for funding.

Ipsera provides bursaries for PhD students. These bursaries are available in the menu under 'Bursaries'.

IPSERA provides small grants to organise workshops and small events. The workshop or event must be open to members and has to be advertised to the network. For those members who would like to organize an event, please e-mail the network manager in the Executive Committee at network@ipsera.com.

Workshops may receive a funding of up to EUR 750.

    IPSERA Purchasing & Innovation SIG Workshop (online)

    Technology and Economic Decoupling: Implication for supply chains

    February 13, 2025

    Time: 11:00 EST / 16:00 GMT / 17:00 CET / 8:00 PST

    The event will be held online.

    How does the technological and economic decoupling between East and West reshape global supply chains?

    This online event will explore Technological and Economic decoupling between the East and the West. This phenomenon, increasingly discussed by economists and geopolitical analysts, has implications for global trade, procurement, and supply chain management. As academics, we must consider the decoupling in our research agendas to understand its far-reaching consequences.

    To provide an overview and set the stage for our discussions, we invited Caroline Freund to give a keynote; Caroline Freund is the Dean of the UC San Diego School of Global Policy and Strategy and an expert in international trade and economic development.

    Then we have three speakers, each providing a concise 5-minute input on critical aspects currently impacting companies:

    Michael Henke discusses the strategic actions companies take in response to decoupling.

    Hervé Legenvre on the role and patterns of adoption of open technology in navigating the decoupling.

    Carmela di Mauro on the trends and challenges associated with reshoring.

    Iryna Malacina will moderate the overall event and the final roundtable discussion.

    The workshop is organized by Hervé Legenvre (EIPM - The European Institute of Purchasing Management HQ) and Michael Henke (TU Dortmund).

    Once registered, you will receive the event link one day before the event.
