Muhammad Nouman Shafique, researcher at the University of Aveiro and member of the BESIDE project, participated as an Eminent Speaker at the 3rd Global Summit on Climate Change & Environmental Sustainability, held on 28–29 September 2026 in Budapest, Hungary.
The international summit brought together researchers, academics, and professionals to exchange knowledge and discuss innovative approaches to addressing global challenges related to climate change, environmental sustainability, and resilience.
During the event, Nouman presented two research studies focusing on the role of digital technologies and circular economy practices in promoting more sustainable and climate-resilient supply chains:
- A Systematic Literature Review of Digital Supply Chains and Logistics 4.0 for Sustainability and Circular Economy
- Integrating Digital Technology and Circular Economy Practices for Climate-Resilient Supply Chains
Both studies explore the potential of digital transformation and circular economy approaches to support sustainability in supply chain management, highlighting opportunities to improve resource efficiency, strengthen resilience, and contribute to more sustainable economic practices.
The summit also provided an opportunity to engage with international experts, exchange research perspectives, and explore potential collaborations in the fields of sustainability, digital innovation, and climate resilience.
Nouman’s participation was supported by the BESIDE project, reflecting its commitment to strengthening scientific excellence, promoting international collaboration, and supporting the dissemination of research results.
By facilitating researchers’ participation in international scientific events, BESIDE continues to contribute to knowledge exchange and the development of innovative solutions addressing environmental and sustainability challenges.
