Contact for Researchers

Research is an essential aspect of any profession and IPMA´s mission is to provide a link between research communities and IPMA members. This overall objective is achieved by participating in a variety of research events, by organizing research conferences, seminars and workshops with a specific focus as well as facilitating research activities across the IPMA Family. On top of that, we recognise research excellence through a programme of the IPMA Global Research Awards and encourage researchers by providing prizes for research papers at conferences.

Our vision is to create a global value space for research activities to shape the future of project, programme and portfolio management.
