November 12, 2021 within the discipline "Strategic Alliances and Collaborations" (lecturer Doctor of Economics, Assoc. Prof. Shvindina H.) 2-nd year graduate students gr. A-01 / M and 3-rd year graduate students (educational and scientific program 073 "Management") had a great opportunity not only to gain theoretical knowledge about the organization of strategic alliances, but also studied the practical features of such activities. Such features and practical experience were shared by a specialist-practitioner, Doctor of Philosophy, Project Coordinator of the Representation of the Foundation named after Friedrich Ebert in Ukraine Olena Davlikanova (Kyiv). Many interesting and well-founded issues were considered in the framework of the topic "Using the project approach in the formation of strategic alliances and collaborations." Discussion and interesting questions arose among graduate students about their own research, namely in the field of innovation projects, projects in the field of energy management, team management in project-oriented organizations.

It should be noted that Olena Davlikanova is well versed in the scientific problems of graduate students, as she is a graduate of SSU and successfully defended her dissertation on the specialty 073 "Management" (2021). Prior to that, she completed a master's degree in "Project Management" at the Department of Management of SSU.

 We thank Olena Davlikanova for productive and interesting communication.

The event was organized by Doctor of Economics, Assoc. Hanna Shvindina and Ph.D., Assoc. Olena Pavlenko.
