INVITATION LETTER
Local and regional projects – project risk management
Department of Strategic and Regional Research of University of Economics in Katowice and
the city of Radzionków are delighted to invite you to a conference "Local and regional
projects – project risk management", which will take place on June 12-13th 2017 at the
Cultural Centre Karolinka in Radzionków.
The conference will focus on the challenges and risks in planning and implementation of
development projects at local and regional level. Every action we take has some risk
associated with it. The risk in the case of projects is much higher than the risk of the
implementation of repetitive tasks such as mass production. Implementation of each project,
whose aim is to "create reality (products and services) for which there is no equivalent" by
definition is related to the probability of difficult situations, and sometimes even impossible to
predict. The consequences of such situations can result in significant deviation of reality from
expectations. The risk of deviations can occur during each phase of the project and its source
can be varied, ranging from poor work organization, lack of communication with project
stakeholders, improper discern their needs to not complying with the assumed output
parameters.
The conference will feature four plenary sessions. Discussions and deliberations will create a
convenient opportunity to exchange of views and establish contacts with scientists and
representatives of the invited institutions involved in the local and regional development.
We look forward to meet you in Radzionków.
Kind regards,
Gabriel Tobor
