Congratulations to Vovchenko Victoria on her victory!
Industry Competition Commission has selected the winners of the All-Ukrainian Student Research Competition in the specialty "Personnel Management and Labor Economics" held at Ternopil National Economic University and awarded the student of the 4th year of the specialty "Management" Vovchenko Victoria (supervisor Lukianykhin V.O.).

Victoria's research, "Building Effective Teams in Scientific and Educational Projects," is interdisciplinary and applied, which has been praised by experts in the field of human resources management and the distinguished jury of the Ukrainian Personnel and Labor Economy. According to the winner: "The theme of team building should be mastered by every person who has to do with management, HR management and effective organization of cooperation of successful teams in any projects, and above all, scientific and educational ones."

Inviting practitioners to the learning process becomes a traditional event in the training of future professionals. On April 16, 2020,   a рractice-oriented on-line event was held on the discipline "Management of social and environmental safety". We learned a lot of practical information from Iryna  Kashpur (Acting Director of the Department of Environmental Protection and Energy of Sumy Regional State Administration).

The meeting was held for masters of AM.м- 91  group (specialty "Public Management and Administration" educational program “Administrative management”) and postgraduate students of specialty 073 “Management” (educational and scientific program “Environmental management”). Мany interesting and рractice-oriented  questions  were related to the topic "Methods of Social and Еnvironmental Safety   Management". By the way, April 15 is International Ecological Knowledge Day. Therefore, to get ecological  knowledge from a specialist practice, and even in the days of ecological knowledge - a great opportunity to combine the interesting with the useful.

Our students are realizing the best opportunities to invest in their professional future. They have enough time to attend on-line events along with the distance learning process, courses of different educational platforms! For example, such as #Big Money marathon from Yevhen Chernyak.

Within two weeks, the students could hear the expert (about 15 representatives of the business-entrepreneurial environment) opinions, advice and forecasts concerning social and economic situation in Ukraine.

The main questions “How to survive the Lockdown?”, “How to save the Team?” and issues concerning the actual business trends for the entrepreneurship development, what to read & how to develop have been discussed by Ye.Chernyak, V. Chmelnitsky, V.Tіgіpko, L.Borodin, A.Fedorov, O.Timofeev, O.Gorokhovsky and other entrepreneurs from different spheres and industries. This marathon has entered the Top 10 live streams on You Tube and has overtaken all news broadcasts.

Self-management and time management are one of the main management skills. Applying distance education technologies allows to attract practitioners from all over Ukraine. On April 15, 2020 Yuliya Zrada, a blogger from the Lviv city, founder of the online school of comprehensive developed personality through English YOULEARN, conducted an interesting training for students of the first- and second-year of education (speciality “Management", English-speaking groups). Yuliya Zrada provided valuable guidance to students on how to plan their time, how to learn and avoid stress and fatigue. The positive atmosphere, insights and learning games with Kahoot, life hacks from sophomores to freshmen – all in one event.

Professor Medani Bhandari has published a paper about Coronavirus (COVID-19) titled “THE PHOBIA CORONA (COVID 19)  ̶  WHAT WE CAN DO”. His work is devoted to the actions that we, as scholars and humans, can do in the coming days. The main problem addressed in the paper is what we can do to stop this pandemic and what price we will have to pay for it.
