The Graduate School of Management of St. Petersburg University (GSOM SPbU) updates the format of the Annual International Research Conference EMC. Andrei Ivanov, Associate Professor of the Department of Public Administration at GSOM SPbU, Deputy Director of the PPP Research Center, has been appointed Chairman of the Program Committee.

According to Andrei Ivanov, the abbreviation of the conference - EMC - will remain, but from 2023 it will receive a new decoding: instead of the Emerging Market Conference, it will be called the Economy and Management Conference, which suggests a broader topic of the discussed problems. Each year the title will be accompanied by a subtitle specifying current trends. The theme of the tenth anniversary conference, which will be held next year from October 3 to 7, will be "EMC 2023: Performance, Sustainability and Public Values".

“The events of the conference should contribute to the integration of science, education and business and strengthen the advantages of GSOM SPbU as a leader among Russian business schools. We plan to expand the scope of events associated with the conference. Among the topics promising for discussion by representatives of the academic environment, business and the state: the use of information technologies in management, smart cities, the management of medical organizations, digital marketing,” Andrei Ivanov noted.

The next conference is being prepared by the updated Program Committee, which includes the heads of research and educational departments of St Petersburg University. The organizers plan to open new sections on the basis of intra-university cooperation with the faculties: economics, medicine, applied mathematics - management processes, as well as the Institute for the Development of Competition and Antimonopoly Regulation of St. Petersburg University.

The working language of the conference is English; associated events are held, as a rule, in Russian.

For ten years, more than 2,500 researches, professors from all over the world have taken part in the events of the conference.
