“Project Management”: UNN teachers start their second training cycle

Lobachevsky University has launched the second cycle of specialised training for instructors of the “Project Management” course. The main objective of the programme is to connect student projects with ongoing scientific research, the needs of the real economy, and the country's technological priorities.

The programme was initiated and organised by Elena Chumankina, Vice-Rector for Youth Policy, and Evgenia Chernykh, Vice-Rector for Academic Affairs. The project's organisational support is managed by the Centre for New Opportunities, headed by Elena Livanova.

During team sessions, educators work on integrating scientific schools into the educational process, introducing innovative techniques, and establishing partnerships with businesses. The primary emphasis is on ensuring that students' projects produce practical results for industry.

Experienced practitioners are involved in the educational process: Ekaterina Pavlova, a business expert with over 20 years of experience, leads the core project management module, and Alexey Uskov is in charge of integrating artificial intelligence technologies into project management.

The programme will result in an updated model of project-based activities, where students acquire hands-on experience through real business cases, and the university enhances the direct link between science, education, and industry.
