The General Conference 2023 of the European Consortium for Political Research (ECPR) took place from September 4 to 8, 2023 at Charles University in Prague. Dr. Elisa Kochskämper and Prof. Dr. Lena Partzsch gave presentations there and were involved as chairs and discussants in a total of five very well-attended panels on "Local Government and Climate Change" and two panels on "Advancing the Research Frontier on New Supply Chain Regulations: Connecting Processes from the Demand-Side and Supply-Side".

Dr. Kochskämper gave an exciting presentation entitled "Just Transformations through Resilience Experiments? Comparing Policy Rationales and Narratives of the Global South and North in the Resilient Cities Network." Prof. Partzsch presented her research in the same panel series in a talk titled "Municipalities in Climate Emergency: Tracing the Power of Narratives in the Implementation of Policy Measures." She also gave a presentation on her research on the new EU Supply Chain Directive, titled "NGO Stories about Accountability in Global Supply Chains." The publication of the respective studies is in progress.
