#3 The EU Green Deal in light of public procurement law & Academic life after COVID-19

In this episode of Bestek, we discuss a topic that is very close to both of our own research projects: sustainable public procurement. We look at this subject through the lens of the newly introduced European Green Deal and what changes it introduces. For dessert, we are ‘dishing’ about academic life after COVID 19. Will we still travel to conferences? If not, why we might miss it?
