Gavin Meets UNECE Representatives at the Global Supply Chain Observatory

Gavin met representatives of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE), Hari Tulsidas and Ghadi Sabra, at the Global Supply Chain Observatory, at the invitation of Mukesh Kumar and Deepesh Jayasekara of the Institute for Manufacturing (IfM), University of Cambridge.

The UNECE visitors showed enthusiasm for the Institute's work, and the discussion explored how observatories of this kind could align with other United Nations initiatives. Gavin was also pleased to talk about the collaboration between the Cambridge Industrial Resilience Group and the Birmingham Centre for Strategic Elements and Critical Materials at the University of Birmingham. Hari Tulsidas had previously been involved in a collaboration with the University of Leicester, which produced the Royal Society of Chemistry paper Timeline for establishing a circular economy for lithium-ion batteries.
