Abstract

The results of a study aimed at solving the problem of the lack of a well-founded model of competencies of university development project teams are presented. The presence of this problem makes it difficult in practice to form successful project teams with the required competencies. This problem is significant for many countries. Accordingly, the purpose of the study was to substantiate the competence model of university development project teams based on empirical data collected at universities in different countries. The study was conducted in 2021–2022. The research methods were a questionnaire survey of representatives of universities in four countries – Russia, Georgia, Serbia, Iran, as well as a semi-formalized in-depth interview conducted at five universities in Russia. The results of the study are presented, namely: a competence model or a set of competencies of project teams is described; a refined model of competencies is proposed depending on the stages of the project life cycle; a comparative analysis of the obtained model of competencies in different countries is carried out. The developed competence model of the project team has a scientific novelty. The novelty is due to the fact that this model is as close as possible to the specifics of the higher education system. The model also reflects the features of the competence structure at different stages of the project life cycle. The results can be applied at universities when selecting candidates for transformation project teams with a focus on the specifics of project activities at universities and the stage of the project life cycle
