Next gen digital objects for resolving energy, behaviour and optimisation paradoxes for sustainable global supply chain systems transitions.

This research project will investigate the needs for sustainability transitions in existing supply chain operations and logistics systems,[1] and aims to contribute to the next generation of digital objects which are designed to instantiate transformational changes from the ground up.

This research aims to explore the role of digital objects in overcoming multi-level paradoxes for organisations in transitioning towards more sustainable operations in global supply chains. We invite research interest in topics that will work with organisational stakeholders to identify the sustainability paradoxes, design and build the next gen digital objects and technological capabilities needed for a local, just and resilient transition to net zero; and regenerative global supply chains that make sustainable use of resources.

Applicants must be available to start the PhD by August 2025, but may start in May.
Please contact Prof. Aseem Kinra for further information or an informal discussion.
