1. Student Upskilling and Industry Value in the INDUSAC Project : Evidence from Quick, Challenge-Driven Co-Creation MechanismŠpela Kunej, Duško Odić, Urška Mrgole, Robert Premk, Marjeta Trobec, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: The INDUSAC project, launched in 2022 under Horizon Europe, connected industry and academia by involving students in solving real-world problems. Coordinated by the Jožef Stefan Institute, INDUSAC paired companies with international, interdisciplinary teams of students for co-creation projects lasting 4–8 weeks, based on multiple calls for applications. This article evaluates student engagement across three call periods – February to May 2024, June to October 2024, and November 2024 to July 2025 – using surveys before and after the projects. Results showed high initial student confidence and measurable improvements in skills such as negotiation and international teamwork. Satisfaction with the process and online platform increased among both students and companies, indicating effective adaptation based on feedback. While companies appreciated student creativity, they expressed a need for greater market viability. These findings validate INDUSAC’s co-creation mechanism, enhancing knowledge transfer while fostering an environment that prepares students for successful global careers.

2. Managing projects in large companies – project success factors in the crisis and post crisis period : evidence from Serbia and SloveniaDragan Lj. Bjelica, Marko Mihić, Dušan Gošnik, 2026, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: This paper investigates project success factors (SF) and project success criteria (SC) in large firms and aims to identify which contribute the most to project success. The results of this study are based on a survey of large firms in Slovenia and Serbia. A sample of 175 large firms is included. The Mann-Whitney test was used to compare groups across countries and between the COVID-19 and post COVID-19 periods. A comparison study of project SF and SC between the period of COVID-19 crisis and post COVID-19 is presented. Findings suggest a high degree of alignment between both countries: both prioritise user appreciation as the most important project SC and clear goals and objectives were identified as the most critical project SF. The results also show that a well-defined project management process is the most critical factor for successful project implementation. Project managers were constantly the most dominant decision makers on projects during and after the COVID-19 period. Analysis shows no significant differences between project SF and SF during and after the COVID-19 period, indicating that large companies are resilient in managing project success.

3. The Journey of Success in Finnish Defence Projects : A Longitudinal StudyIlkka Ikonen, Henrik Juhol, 2025, objavljeni znanstveni prispevek na konferenci Opis: This study investigates the critical success factors influencing the success of defence equipment projects within the Finnish Defence Forces over a three-decade period from 2006 to 2025. Utilizing a longitudinal research design, the study captures changes in success factors in response to evolving organizational and environmental contexts. The research is grounded in a literature review on project success and success factors, with particular focus on defence industry. The main research question of this study is: How have the critical success factors of Finnish defense equipment projects changed from 2006 to 2025? By comparing empirical data from three case studies conducted in 2006, 2018 and 2025, the study offers insights into the constancy and transformation of critical success factors over time. This study contributes to the literature by providing a nuanced understanding of success factors in defence procurement projects, differentiating them from industry delivery projects. It highlights the unique challenges faced by procurement-focused projects and provides actionable insights for practitioners aiming to optimize project performance in the defence sector. The research calls for enhanced project management education and training within the Finnish Defence Forces to address the dual challenges of increasing demands and rising equipment costs.
