About SAPIENS
What is SAPIENS Network? SAPIENS stands for Sustainability and Procurement in International, European, and National Systems.
SAPIENS Network is an international training network of 10 EU universities and 19 partner organisations (including international organisations, public purchasers, R&D centres, public and independent expertise centres, a lobbyist and a US academic institution (GWU). The network was created because unleashing the potential of SPP requires a new generation of experts capable of working across disciplines (law, economics, business sciences) and knowledgeable of the different relevant methodologies.
