This is the second year in a row that the Economics and Management Faculty of the University of Latvia together with the Professional Association of Project Managers organize an international conference for project management, gathering professionals from a number of countries. In 2012 seven countries were represented (Latvia, Estonia, Germany, Spain, Russia, Island, Hungary), and this year several others have joined in. We will be hearing project management professionals from Poland, Portugal, and Lithuania. The conference aims to host a vast exchange of ideas, thoughts, and experience in the benefits of applying project management to resolving practical problems. Project management has been developing rapidly over the last 30 years and become an important factor in business success. It opens new opportunities for businesses to increase their competitiveness in the market. Project management methods improve project transparency – cash flow tracking, project risk assessment, and risk prevention planning, project stakeholder analysis, project implementation planning and supervision. This is a particularly important aspect for Latvia, since the coming years will bring many large scale projects both in railway reconstruction and big construction objects, such as the new concert hall, as well as various sizeable event organization, for instance Riga-2014. Success and investment-efficiency of such projects require modern methods of project planning, supervision, and controlling, which in turn raises the question of the professional competency of a project manager. The last ten years in Latvia have seen several incentives to raise their competency, and one of them is the establishment of the project manager as a profession in 2002, and its reinstatement in 2011, in accordance with the most up-to-date PMI and IPMA standards. The renewed professional standard of project managers was approved by a regulation of the Cabinet of Ministers in 2011. Another no less important event is the development of professional two-year master studies programme for project managers, by the EMF of the University of Latvia. More than 50 professionals have graduated from this programme, which has been available for five years. This year, another 20 will receive their master’s degrees. It must be noted that similar programmes have been developed in two more higher education institutions in Latvia – the University of Agriculture of Latvia and the Riga International School of Economics and Business Administration. Preface 3 Project Management Development – Practice and Perspectives Second International Scientific Conference on Project Management in the Baltic Countries April 11-12, 2013, Riga, University of Latvia The interests of project managers in Latvia are protected by the Professional Association of Project Managers (PVPA), which also fosters further development of the profession. The PVPA has been working for three years already and has participated in the organisation of this conference. The scope of papers that will be presented in this conference is vast – the subjects range from the theoretical issues of project management to practice. The most essential areas touched upon will be the following: Transport, Infrastructure, Engineering, Industrial and IT Project Management aspects Development in this field is closely bound to others, such as suppliers, manufacturers, trade partners – we will see how the modern project management can improve their cooperation. Problems and Solutions in EU Funds Project Management (Implementation) We will take a look at the problems and risks in the project implementation, and how project management methods could improve the situation. New Project Management Perspectives We will discuss the role of a project manager in a project, and the impact of the human factor, as well as what it takes to increase the competence of project managers. Also we will try to find out new project management perspectives and solutions. These are questions that practice experts and scientists have proposed to discuss in this conference. There will be a special event this time – the PVPA award in project management, which will go to the best master’s papers of the last year. This tradition was started in the previous conference, and we continue with it this year as well. We would like to thank our generous sponsors – “Latvijas Mobilais telefons” Ltd. and the Ventspils Free Port Authority – for supporting the organisation and successful carrying out of this conference. On behalf of the conference organisers, I’d like to greet all participants of the conference, to thank them for honouring us with their presence today, and to wish us all interesting discussions full of new ideas, renewing of old contacts and finding many new ones.

  • Cross-Border Co-Operation on the Example of Baltic Europe
    Tadeusz PALMOWSKI University of Gdańsk, POLAND CROSS-BORDER CO-OPERATION ON THE EXAMPLE OF BALTIC EUROPE 1. SHAPING OF COASTAL CROSS-BORDER ZONES From the very beginning of geographical research marine areas constituted an important subject. Perhaps the process of man dominating the seas gave grounds to the development of geography as a science. Regions located by the sea maintain contacts with regions located on the opposite seacoast. Lands located over the sea are parts of states there situated. Their mutual relations change in time. They depend on the following factors: - geographical location, - sailing conditions, - distance, - development level with respect to transport and communication means, - attracting port cities in the coastal region, - political relations, - complementary nature of economy, - cultural conditions. The first five factors are typical of co-operation across the sea. The remaining ones are of a universal nature. Geographical location of the coastal regions may either favour contacts across the sea or limit or even eliminate such possibilities. Favourable conditions occur when: - the regions for potential co-operation are situated on both coasts of the sea laying inside a continent, like e.g. the Baltic Sea, the Mediterranean Sea or the Black Sea; - two regions of two different countries are located on the two banks of a strait or natural sea channel; - a coastal region neighbours on a nearby island which belongs to an overseas country; - two neighbouring islands belonging to different countries are separated by a strait; - between a centrally located island or chain of islands and coastal areas located on the both sides of the sea where one of the regions and the island belong to one country whereas the other to an overseas state; - between two regions of two different countries located on both sides of a sea bay 18 Tadeusz Palmowski where the sea route between them is shorter than by land or countries on both sides of the bay divided by a third country located further in the bay (Fig.

  • Difference Between Eastern and Western Polish Euroregions
    DIFFERENCE BETWEEN EASTERN AND WESTERN POLISH EUROREGIONS Jan Wendt* After the year 1998 when the world order was broke down, the modern Europe came into a new qualitatively phase of the integration processes' development. The new challenges, new communications techniques, migration processes, ideas' diffusions create more and more links between countries and local societies. The progress of cultural and economical integration is creally going into globalisation and universalisation the model of life. However, the globalisation doesn't create any efficiently working mechanism of performing law and institution order because its subjects try to - for the sake of defending own businesses - unique the instituali- sation of the authority on the above country level (Malendowski W., Szczepaniak M., 2000). Therefore, only the increase of transborder co-operation can make the authority desistance the opposition which exists in this matter (Schulc E., 1996). The euroregional co-operation, which is developed very well in UE, can lessen the distance between countries which are in UE (Malendowski W., Ratajczak M., 1998) and countries which pretend to be in there and liquidate the feeling of being in the suburban of the Western Europe. The co-operation also gives possi- bilities of knowing the rules of multilateral co-operation and democratic procedures for the post communistic societies (Bernatowicz G.; 1994). So, the co-operation should be one of the priorities for the UE candidate countries. What is more, the European Commission and its different kinds of helping programmes like PHARE help the euroregions activities. It seems that Poland is a regional leader in creating new euroregions in Central Europe.

  • Ana Maria Asan Euphonious Ceramics
    Ana Maria Asan Euphonious ceramics Ceramics and sound. Sound and ceramics. For the artist Ana Maria Asan, ceramics has the capacity to produce sounds. Ceramics has always a sonorous dimension, but my ceramic objects are not conceived as musical instruments. They are useless! I am the one who decides to make them sound in front of the microphone or, in the case of certain specific installations, I let the audience in charge of it for a precise reason which categorically excludes the entertainment. She started the SONORES project ten years ago, as a deep exploration of the ceramics and its sonorous dimension. The installation Untitled (There Is No White Noise, Only Colourful Sound Serie), 2020 is on view at the Keramiek Triënnale 2021 in CODA Museum Apeldoorn. Through her work, Ana Maria does not look to obtain traditional results like functionality or decorative art, but a poetical approach. Time Capsule ( Memories From The Future: Exploring the SONORES, 2011-2021. Work in progress Fortress As A Woman), 2018. Porcelain, archaeological remains. Variable dimensions. Daugavpils Fortress Culture & Information Centre, Latvia - Collection of Mark Rothko Art Centre and Daugavpils Fortress Culture & Information Centre, Latvia By Barbara Bunskoek | Photographic Credits Ana Maria Asan According to Ana Maria Asan (Bucharest, Romania), we are living in an invasive and noisy world where she takes a stand and refuses to become a passive listener. In her work, she constantly pushes the limits of perception to attend the non-materiality. Sound has for her the same triggering role as Proust’s Madeleine guiding us toward a less “visible” zone of ourselves.

    Wroclaw Review of Law, Administration & Economics Vol 9:1, 2019 DOI: 10.2478/wrlae-2019-0011 Smart Integration Jerzy Korczak* Keywords Euroregion, smart administration, agreement, transfrontier nature, cooperation of territorial self-government units Abstract The article is devoted to smart integration taking place on the Polish–German borderland and, more precisely, the border between the Lower Silesian Voivodeship and the Saxony Länder, which, according to the author, is the result of an evolution of forms of transfrontier cooperation of territorial self-government units. It will analyse the conditions for the emergence of forms of cooperation in the transfrontier area and their evolution in European experiences to date and, after 1990, also with the involvement of Polish territorial self-governments. I. Introduction The idea of independence of the operation of territorial self-government units does not mean autarky or autonomy, as proclaimed by Hans Pagenkopf ‘Die Gemeinden der Gegenwart führen kein isoliertes Dasein mehr’.1 Similarly, Jan Boć noted that, in conditions of the decentralisation of public administration, as a result of which many very small independent enclaves of territorial self- government arose, a threat arises of the differentiation of the decomposition of * PhD in Law, Professor at the Institute of Administrative Science, Head of the Section of Public Administration System, Faculty of Law, Administration and Economics, University of Wroclaw, [email protected] 1 Hans Pagenkopf, Kommunalrecht (Bd. 1, Carl Heymanns Verlag KG, 1975) 184 - 53 - Wroclaw Review of Law, Administration & Economics [Vol 9:2, 2019] the element integrating intelligence leading to the fact that the same degree of saturation with their smart organisation will not take place in the individual enclaves.

When I proposed a questionably-relevant thesis topic he accepted it wholeheartedly and has done nothing but encourage me every step of the way, even when many of those steps came later than planned. His enthusiasm was paramount to this paper’s completion. Thank you to Professor Ikumi Kaminishi who has advised the latter half of my college career. I am lucky to have worked with someone so supportive and brilliant, whose challenging Theories and Methods class forced me to become a better art historian. Thank you to Professor Malcolm Turvey for joining this project on a topic only half- related to the field in which he is so respected. I only wish my thesis could have been more relevant to his knowledge and utilized his expertise more.
