Management challenges in implementing scientific projects during covid-19 pandemic

Chernogorova, Y.; Bliznakov, Z.; Bliznakova, K.

The aim of this work is to outline the management and risk management activities related to the successful implementation of scientific projects, which have been severely affected by the pandemic situation. The methodology includes a comparative analysis between planned and implemented activities on running scientific projects. Time, budget and scope are the main three constraints of the project used in the assessment. Five main groups of activities are analysed: Management, Scientific, Educational, Dissemination and Production. While published studies present qualitative and quantitative risk analysis due to the pandemic, this work goes a step forward by suggesting risk response planning, management procedures and activities to reduce threats to the project’s objectives. To the best of authors’ knowledge, there is no research systemized by other research groups. © 2021, Czestochowa University of Technology. All rights reserved.
