Seminar: Kristjan Vassil

Principles of Research Management. An experience from six years as a Vice-Rector for Research

In his talk, Kristjan will focus on research management in universities as one of the most complex forms of organizations in modern societies. Characterised by large sovereignty and decision independence, university management is a specific form of management requiring consensus building and stakeholder management more than in any other corporate format. He will also demonstrate basic principles of influencing larger political processes and how steer them toward the desired outcome.
