Tiivistelmä
The purpose of this thesis was to create a manual for an international scientific and educational event at a higher educational institution. The manual is based on the experiences gathered from an annual International Week at Laurea Kerava, in which the author of this thesis acted as the Student Project Manager for three consequent years. The content of the manual was developed to assist future event organizers in preparing and managing similar events. The commissioner of this thesis was Laurea University of Applied Sciences.
The thesis consists of two parts: theoretical framework for event management and a practical manual in a digital form. The theoretical part explains the Event Management phenomena and gives an overview of the International Weeks from the last 3 years. The Event Manual is a digital version containing plans, templates and other support documents. The aim of the Manual was to provide each planning step with reference material, checklists and advice. It is expected that the user will adapt the Manual and customize the templates to a particular event. The digital version of the Event Manual is free to use and can be found at Laurea UAS's internal database and at: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/zvlwz8mf0txnc91/AAD6qdaE_xK-_Eq4hLjHfklVa?dl=0
This thesis is project-based and is intended for practical use. Materials used for the thesis have been created based on Laurea UAS internal document standards.
