Vision and Aim听
Our vision is to be the leader in Project Management research worldwide, because 鈥� We love projects!听听
The management of projects and programmes addresses the strategic importance of projects and programmes in delivering economic, environmental, and social value for public and private clients, stakeholders, and society.听 A project is considered as a learning and innovation space, a social space and as a co-creation space for future making and the delivery of change in society. 鈥疘n our research we consider digital and sustainability transitions by projects and we promote projects as change agents to create a sustainable future.听
Our aim is to lead high-impact research and engagement activities which solve real world challenges in our society and the global community.听听
In addition to projects and programmes, we are experts in the areas of project professionals, project teams, project portfolios, project networks, project-based firms, project-oriented organisations, cities, the project society overall and the interplay between these.听
How we engage听
Our research approach is interdisciplinary, based on the cross-fertilisation of organisation theory, organisation behavior, business, economics, law, philosophy, technology, supply chain, construction, and engineering management. We value the principles of engaged scholarship and research innovation to push the frontiers in project scholarship, to create viable solutions based on rigor and relevance, and to have impact on both theory and practice.
Our mindset is future-oriented, and our core values are the co-creation of knowledge and deep engagement in research, education and training. Finally, our high-impact insights are captured in new theory, policy recommendations and practical applications in the built environment and beyond.听听
