Department of Sociology, Environmental and Business Economics Develops New Course in Event Management
On October 1, 2019, a new course in event management is being held, which focuses on developing and strengthening one's competence within the event management discipline. The course is developed by professors from the Department of Sociology, Environmental and Business Economics.
There are many different types of events ranging from large music festivals to smaller conferences. One thing is to arrange an event, but for it to be successful and memorable, it requires just the right competencies within e.g. planning, strategy and organizing.

The course addresses the challenges in the event management discipline and gives an overview of the many different management areas. It is Professor Arne Feddersen, Professor MSO Oliver Schnittka and Associate Professor Chris Horbel from the Department of Sociology, Environmental and Business Economics, who have developed the course.
