Addressing Supply Chain and Manufacturing Challenges and Opportunities: Workshop Series

Completed

The Government-University-Industry Research Roundtable convened four virtual workshops for its membership and invited guests in Oct-Nov 2022 to discuss opportunities for enhancing U.S. approaches to addressing manufacturing and supply chain resilience, security, and sustainability challenges. These meetings will bring together experts across the three sectors to consider the drivers of supply chain vulnerabilities and ways to support domestic innovation capacity and U.S. manufacturing to advance competitiveness and growth in key economic sectors. By convening experts from across sectors and disciplines, GUIRR provided a forum for dialogue on policy priorities by leaders across the research enterprise.

Description

A planning committee of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine will organize a series of four short virtual workshops to consider opportunities to leverage cross-sectoral partnership, collaboration, and coordination to address the resilience and security of U.S. manufacturing and supply chains. Topics for consideration during the workshops include maintaining competitiveness and economic security in critical industries; assuring supply chain reliability and mitigating demand disruptions; accelerating technology innovation; and creating new SME capacity. The two-hour long virtual workshops are meant to catalyze high-level policy discussions and to stimulate further dialogue on cross-cutting science and innovation policy issues related to supply chain resilience and manufacturing capacity. A rapporteur-authored proceedings-in brief will be published summarizing all workshops in the series.
