IPMA Awards

IPMA Research Conference 2019 and Organization, Technology and Management in Construction 2019 will serve as an excellent opportunity for collective brainstorming and exploring together the known and unknown boundaries of construction management and project management. Topics such as Managing Megaprojects, Building Information Modelling Project Management, Trust and Corruption in Projects will serve a unique opportunity to enhance your knowledge and personal competences, challenge your thinking and widen your network. Updated, extended and fully refereed versions of the best papers presented that fit the scope and mission of Organization, Technology and Management in Construction: An International Journal (indexed in Web of Science Core Collection) will be published in a special issue of the journal.

The Research Award Gala accompanies the IPMA Research Conference every year. During a special event, winners in two categories are honoured: IPMA Research Award and IPMA Young Researcher Award. This year, special awards for the development of project management discipline will be given also to two finalists in both categories. The winning research projects will be presented during a special session of the 7th IPMA Research Conference.
