On April 29, 2020, for the first time, the All-Ukrainian Student Projects Competition "From Idea to Success" was held in the mode of video-conference. It was the third time that the Production and Investment Management Department of the Faculty of Agrarian Management of the NULES of Ukraine invited representatives of business (potential employers) for the role of jury for talented and ambitious youth to present their projects. This year, thanks to using IT -technologies it was possible to create a unique virtual environment for more than 50 participants from different universities and faculties of our University which gave an invaluable positive experience of adapting to the "new reality" of today and proved that the specialty of project manager was the future prospect even in the world of pandemics of COVID-19.
Rector of the National University of Life and Environmental Sciences of Ukraine, Doctor of Pedagogical Sciences, Professor, Academician of the National Academy of Pedagogical Sciences of Ukraine Stanislav Nikolayenko noted that during the quarantine period the combination of nano-, bio- and IT-technologies was crucial and stressed the importance of holding such competitions that allowed to realize practical business ideas of students.
The greetings were also expresses by the Dean of the Faculty of Agrarian Management of the NULES of Ukraine Anatoliy Ostapchuk. The role of moderator was held by the Head of the Department of Production and Investment Management Lidiia Shynkaruk. She emphasized the main goal of the competition which was in creating a real opportunity for young people to realize their potential through the presentation of their ideas to professionals in the field of business.
The format of the competition included two presentation panels, i.e. the evaluation of projects by prize places and by nominations. In total, more than 30 participants from 7 different universities in Ukraine submitted their applications including 22 projects in the qualifying round.
In the first panel, students presented 6 nominees for the prize places and nomination for the best project for university development which were selected during the first selection round on April 27, 2020 (

Among the works presented there were two existing businesses: the production of eco-bags and pastels. This indicated that all thoughtful ideas need continuous improvement and could be implemented using an effective approach to their development.
