Abstract
Collegiality is the modus operandi of universities. Collegiality is central to academic freedom and scientific quality. In this way, collegiality also contributes to the good functioning of universities’ contribution to society and democracy. In this concluding paper of the special issue on collegiality, we summarize the main findings and takeaways from our collective studies. We summarize the main challenges and contestations to collegiality and to universities, but also document lines of resistance, activation, and maintenance. We depict varieties of collegiality and conclude by emphasizing that future research needs to be based on an appreciation of this variation. We argue that it is essential to incorporate such a variation-sensitive perspective into discussions on academic freedom and scientific quality and highlight themes surfaced by the different studies that remain under-explored in extant literature: institutional trust, field-level studies of collegiality, and collegiality and communication. Finally, we offer some remarks on methodological and theoretical implications of this research and conclude by summarizing our research agenda in a list of themes.

Abstract
The convergence of the digital supply chain (DSC) with sustainability presents promising opportunities and notable challenges for today's enterprises. This chapter explores the relationship between digital supply chain management (DSCM) and sustainability within the context of supply chain management. It begins by providing a detailed overview of the digital transformation in supply chain management, emphasizing its rapid evolution and its profound impact on sustainability. The chapter then delves into the various sustainability challenges that manifest within DSCs, including issues related to energy consumption, e-waste management, and environmental impact. It goes beyond environmental considerations, exploring social and ethical dimensions, such as the potential consequences of digitalization on socioeconomic disparities. Moreover, the chapter presents a comprehensive framework of best practices and strategies aimed at navigating these challenges. It highlights the utilization of digital technologies like artificial intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), and blockchain to enhance transparency, efficiency, and responsible sourcing. Real-world case studies are included to exemplify successful implementations of sustainable practices across diverse industries. In conclusion, the chapter emphasizes the imperative of a holistic, authentically sustainable supply chain transformation, underpinned by digital technologies, to advance sustainability objectives while adeptly addressing emerging challenges in the ever-evolving landscape of supply chain management.
