For nine years we have been helping to implement research initiatives of young professionals in the field of strategic planning and human potential management. To do this, we are creating an environment in order to find new contacts and receive feedback from the experts of the competition on the creation, development, accumulation, reproduction, assessment and protection of competencies in the field of human resource management. 

This year's competition includes the following thematic areas: 

1. Human resource management in the new reality: trends, risks, opportunities.
2. Digital HR: Digital projects and IT tools.
3. Economics of Human Resources: New Sources of Growth in Labor Productivity and Personnel Efficiency.
4. Trends in corporate education.
5. Transformation of the labor market and competencies: present and future.
6. Personnel management in a cross-cultural environment: world experience.
7. Development of legal regulation of labor relations. 

Today's HR leaders face challenges every day that require a fresh eye and energy to take action. Students have both - they just need to be prompted how to pack knowledge into a project shell, and give an expert assessment of its implementation. And business and government should be given a platform to select the best young professionals.

As a result, the best participants of the competition get the opportunity to undergo an internship or work practice in order to test the proposed ideas. The most interesting papers will receive recommendations and expert support for publication in the format of scientific articles in significant scientific and practical journals of the Russian Federation and abroad.

An important element of the event is the educational component. In support of the competition, it is planned to conduct training workshops and seminars with the participation of members of the competition jury - leading Russian and foreign experts in the HR field.

The participants of the Competition are students, graduate students, applicants for a scientific degree, young specialists and researchers from universities, academic institutions in Russia and foreign countries, as well as employees of other interested organizations aged 18 to 35 years.
