On 14 - 15 November, the GVC Research Cluster hosted the first of the 'GVC in Europe Network' at the Birmingham Business School. The workshop was an opportunity to continue a scholarly exchange that started in Chicago at SASE 2014 on themes related to Global Value Chains in the European context. 

The workshop was organised into two sections: one focusing on leading scholars presenting their latest thinking on GVC studies, the relevant methods and useful frameworks; and the other as a working groups’ session to identify initiatives for joint research.  The workshop led to the commitment to kick off a H2020-RISE bid. The event was organised by Dr. Paulina Ramirez, Dr. Giulio Buciuni and Dr. Lisa De Propris.
