Sustainable Supply Chains in a Fragmented World Economy

Consideration of due diligence obligations – sustainability governance in the context of due diligence regulation

From 17 to 29 March 2026, Kathleen Evers, doctoral researcher in the GO-Chains cluster, spent two weeks at Stellenbosch University in South Africa as part of an international PhD colloquium bringing together researchers from Leuphana University and Stellenbosch University. The exchange got off to an energetic start. Lectures, workshops, and discussions covered topics ranging from Transformative Constitutionalism and EU–African relations to the future of the SDGs. A highlight was the presentation of individual research projects, which sparked lively cross-disciplinary dialogue — even where projects weren't directly tied to global value chains, fresh perspectives on legal and societal transformation emerged. The programme also created connections with scholars from the University of Cape Town and the University of the Western Cape.
