Dear professors and students, partners and alumni of GSOM SPbU!

The outgoing 2022 was full of challenges and difficult tasks that we have successfully coped with! 2023 is the year of its 30th anniversary and our Business school meets it with great achievements and ambitious plans.

Working on the development strategy for the Graduate School of Management SPbU until 2025, we have chosen the right path and do not get down from it. This is also confirmed by the international rankings of Financial Times, where in 2022 the business school improved its position.

The year 2023 at GSOM SPbU will be held under the slogan "Management of the Future New World". We will continue to develop in all key areas and maintain the status of the best business school in Russia.

A sports complex will appear in Mikhailovskaya Dacha: a football field, a playground with sport equipment, a building with changing rooms and a room for coaches, as well as spectator stands. With the help of the fundraising campaign, the historic linden alley, that was at the main entrance to the Grand Duke's estate Mikhailovskaya Dacha, will be restored. 

In 2023 EMC conference will take place in an updated and expanded format. The number of participants and events of the student conference "Management of the Future" will also grow significantly. Together with MegaFon company for students from all over Russia,  an Olympiad will be organized, the winners of which will receive a fast track for an internship at the company.

GSOM SPbU both creates knowledge and shares advanced teaching practices with the professional community: more than 700 teachers from more than 130 universities in Russia and the CIS have already received access to the developments of the Center for the Teaching Excellence Lab in Business Education of GSOM SPbU. For 2023, we have already outlined plans for the further development of the Center.

The implementation of such ambitious plans is impossible without the support and participation of all members of the Business School team: students, alumni, faculty and partners.

Our professors do not just share the most up-to-date information, but captivate students with the world of management in such a way that knowledge stays with them for many years.

Corporate partners support all our initiatives, accept students for internships, participate in the development and implementation of joint educational products, provide relevant and timely feedback so that we can quickly respond to market demands and change and develop our products.

We are proud of our students who manage to study and organize dozens of unique events, win case championships and represent the Business School at Russian and international conferences, and sometimes even start their own business while still studying.

Regardless of where our alumni live and work, they remain in touch with Alma Mater for many years. They participate in projects and initiatives of the Business School, share their experience with the next generation of managers, they are members of the boards of educational programs, and their participation there helps to make them more practice-oriented.

The mission of GSOM SPbU is unchanged — we create knowledge, develop leaders, and change the world for the better. And we continue to do that. Our task is to teach today what the leaders who will work for the future of Russia tomorrow and the day after tomorrow will need. Let's remember this! I wish all of you  happiness and success in the new year 2023!
