Professor Kostas Selviaridis
Personal ChairResearch Overview
My current research focusses on public contracting and its role in promoting innovation, resilience and sustainability goals in supply chains. It is directly relevant for the UN Sustainable Development Goals No. 3, 9 and 12. Specific themes in my research programme include: (a) contracting for R&D and innovation to address societal challenges such as affordable healthcare, (b) contracting for resilience in pharmaceutical supply chains to curb shortages of medicines, (c) procurement for social value and sustainability in the public sector, and (d) performance-based contracting for effective delivery of equipment and related services in defence. Through such work I cultivated an interest, more broadly, in the interplay between supply chain management and public policy. My research recently won the prestigious "Harold E. Fearon Best Paper Award" of the Journal of Supply Chain Management.
