Interdisciplinary workshop on Green Public Procurement
Law and public management
The major role of public procurement in the economy makes it a significant – and necessary – tool to fight climate change. Thus, it’s not surprising that international, EU and national policies have made Green Public Procurement (GPP) a key focus area in the transition to a more sustainable global economy.
This Interdisciplinary green public procurement workshop aims to address current developments and issues in the field of green public procurement. The two-day workshop will bring together researchers within law and public management from the US, Europe and Scandinavia to discuss green public procurement from different perspectives.
The workshop is part of the research project PROCUREGREEN funded by the Independent Research Fund Denmark. PROCUREGREEN is a collaboration between Roskilde University, The Danish Center for Social Science Research (VIVE) and the Faculty of Law, University of Copenhagen.
