Europe’s supply chains are under pressure — from war, climate change...

💡 Research shows: stronger innovation + smarter policy = resilience.
But structural gaps remain. Time to rethink investment.

Climate change is putting global supply chains under stress. 🌍

Extreme weather events like droughts + floods can disrupt production, ports + trade routes.

Governments + businesses can boost resilience through smarter policies + investment.

Climate risks to global supply chains Extreme weather is disrupting supply chains more often, making risk awareness, mitigation and global policy coordination increasingly vital

Multinational Enterprises reshaped their global employment post-COVID:
📉 foreign affiliates lagged, 📈 home ones led.

Evidence of strategic reshoring is growing — and lasting.

Happy to share that my research on how firms adapt to temporary infrastructure disruptions is finally out as a working paper!

🚢 Klimaschocks hinterlassen Spuren!

Unsere Forschung zeigt, dass das Niedrigwasser 2018 Unternehmen in Deutschland dauerhaft von der Binnenschifffahrt auf Schiene & Straße umsteigen ließ.

Even short-term shocks can reshape supply chains. 🚢

New research by @saskiameuchelboeck.bsky.social shows German firms hit by the 2018 low water crisis on the Rhine permanently shifted away from inland shipping — a warning for climate resilience.

🚀 More patents = more jobs — but only when innovation is diverse & connected.

Our new RETHINK-GSC study shows: doubling patenting boosts jobs by 6%, but over-concentration in a few fields slows growth.

👉Smart, inclusive R&D policy is key.

Innovation drives jobs: Doubling patent activity boosts employment by 6%. The effect is strongest in globally connected regions. But when innovation narrows to just a few tech fields, job growth stalls. New findings from EU project @rethink-gsc.bsky.social 👇

New paper. My favorite takeaway is that MNEs are better at turning innovation into employment.

📣 New publication!

"Multinational Network, Innovation and the Growth of Employment"

MNEs = more innovation and more jobs.
Study finds global firms are better at turning patents into employment.
Local R&D → global ripple effect.

Time to rethink how we support innovation? 💡🌍

🚨 Only 10% of EU patents involve universities. Why?

A new study of 2,900 HEIs finds third-party funding boosts both quantity & quality of patents — especially in wealthier regions. Regional policy matters!

Great workshop, inspiring people and interesting work presentations. I learned a lot- thanks to all of you!

Great discussions of the works done within the #RETHINK-GSC project and 2 great keynotes

Really enjoyed this one, weather aside. Learned a lot, especially about open source software.

Six armes de l’Europe dans la guerre commerciale avec les Etats-Unis Droits de douane, taxe sur le numérique, restriction de l’accès aux marchés publics… l’Union européenne a de quoi riposter aux mesures prises par Donald Trump. Si elle sait faire front commun.
