Suggestive Content and Facilitators:
The core theme of the four sessions circles around sustainability and digital governance. The sessions will shed lights on three key areas: how digital culture is evolving within the society, how it can be applied within an organisation in a sustainable manner and how the application can link with various internal and external stakeholders. In so doing, the four sessions will present and critically discuss and analyse a number of novel ideas and projects that will benefit researchers and practitioners to comprehend the current and future challenges and opportunities pertaining to sustainable digital governance.
Session - 1
Introduction to and Analysis of Digital Governance from Social and Consumer Perspectives :
This session will introduce the key speakers and provide an overview of digital consumer culture to highlight the fundamental shift in consumer lives due to the huge uptake of digital technology. By drawing on evidence from research led publications and practical examples the session will explain the key characteristics of digital consumer culture and delve into relevant managerial implications. There will be a particular focus on how digital consumer culture links with sustainable market operations.

Bidit has published more than 35 articles in leading business and management journals.
Session-2
Digital Business Analytics for Sustainable Operations and Governance:
This talk presents a number of research projects that apply digital business analytics for governance and sustainable operations. Policy Compass is an EU funded ICT project that aimed at developing an open data platform for governments and citizens. A fuzzy cognitive map based policy simulation is introduced to demonstrate how open data can be directly used for policy modelling and impact analysis. In MINI-CHIP project, a big weather archive data is used to simulate weather conditions for liner ships and used to find optimal speed of vessels to minimise fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. On the other hand, DAREED and GREENDC projects apply heuristic optimisation techniques to minimise energy consumption in cities and data centres respectively.

Session-3
Sustainable Digital governance in practice: An Innovative Approach to Addressing the Sustainability Challenge in Maritime Shipping:
This talk provides an overview of a research journey centred on the novel concept of ‘Green Scheduling’; starting from basic research and proof of concept to prototyping and field experiments in maritime shipping as part of the EU funded PortForward project. As such, the session will explain a novel and innovative decision support tool, called the Green Yard Scheduler (GYS) to enhance the performance and sustainability of container terminals. We introduce three inter-related optimisation problems regarding housekeeping, container positioning, and yard crane scheduling, each with a combination of performance- and sustainability-oriented objectives. We conclude by presenting initial results obtained from the implementation of the GYS at the Port of Vigo in Spain.

Session-4
Sustainable Digital Governance in Practice: An integrative Model of Technology Driven Disaster Management – Challenges and Opportunities :
This session will discuss a novel framework of ‘lean humanitarian supply chain’ to ensure resilient and efficient food distribution, that resulted in an improved collaboration among donors and sustainable food distribution system. The discussion will provide a case study on technology led food distribution and humanitarian supply chain in Turkey, that hosts more than 2.5 million Syrian refugees. The displacement of vulnerable people has resulted in a situation underpinned by shortages of quantity and quality of food products. Efforts are severely undermined by a lack of coordination and cooperation between stakeholders in food supply and distribution systems. The implementation of lean humanitarian supply chain
