“It is a great honor for our university to host the anniversary sociological conference. We train young specialists in various fields, including sociologists, and attach great importance to this science. The State University of Management has its own sociological center, where employees and students conduct various studies related to internal and external processes. Also, the Center for Sociological Research “14-35″ operates on the basis of our university. By the way, our active participation in sociological research began with the suggestion of VTsIOM, when we began working on a joint study of student life, interests and moods of young people. Since then, we have been closely interacting in the field of sociology,” Vladimir Vitalyevich noted.
