The information gained opens new horizons for practical application in the professional work of project managers.
Fourth-year undergraduate students from the Project Management Department, Sofya Gudkova and Angelina Ryzhova, participated in the conference and discussed the significance of this event for their academic work:
"We thank Alexander Samuilovich Tovba and Ekaterina Andreevna Khalimon for the opportunity to attend the conference! It was crucial for us to attend the event, as since the beginning of the year we've been researching the role and function of project management offices in implementing organizational strategy. However, the information found in academic and online sources is more general, theoretical, and methodological in nature, and most sources focus on the pre-pandemic period. We desperately needed up-to-date information from practitioners."
