United for science-based policies to prevent air pollution
TWIN SEEDS
Towards a World Integrated and Socio-economically Balanced European Economic Development Scenario
is a research project funded within the Horizon Europe program led by Politecnico di Milano (Grant agreement ID: 101056793)
The project studies the recent evolution of Global Value Chains (GVC), with the aim of understanding the role played by technological transformations and geopolitical and policy shifts in shaping these changes. Thanks to the joint effort of eleven universities and research institutions from eight EU countries, TWIN SEEDS is expected to enrich the European debates and public policies aiming at economic prosperity, social cohesion and environmental quality in the light of the still unknown effects of GVC reconfiguration.
