To be awarded the prestigious IPMA young researcher award 2020 is an incredible achievement. I am very thankful to all the research team at the University of Leeds for all the support received, which helped me develop as a researcher and critical thinker. This award is already helping me to increase my self-confidence in supporting others in their research, boosting my network, and demonstrating the important contribution of project management research to practitioners. This award is great recognition, and I am truly honoured to join the distinguished group of winners of the past years. Thank you IPMA!

Prof. Dr. Mario Vanhoucke
IPMA Research Award Outstanding Contribution 2020
The IPMA research award is one of the most prestigious awards in the field of Project Management. IPMA awarded my research for a first time in 2008, and this award enabled me getting a research grant of 1.3 million euro from Ghent University (Belgium). With that grant, I created a team of researchers to explore new research ideas between 2011 and 2019. The second IPMA award in 2020 couldn’t come at a better time! It recognised once again the quality of my past research, and it certainly will stimulate my team to continue for another decade.

Prof. Gilbert Silvius
IPMA Research Award Outstanding Contribution 2020
In research, the opinion of peers is all decisive for the recognition and quality of your work. The IPMA Global Research Awards enables researchers to recognize meaningful contributions to the domain of project management, and also to be recognized as a meaningful contributor. By organizing the Global Research Awards, IPMA continues to demonstrate its commitment to developing the profession of project management, in order to allow people, organisations and societies to realise their visions of a great future. We are thrilled and honoured that our research on ‘The Human factor in Sustainable Project Management’ has been recognized by the global project management research community as an ‘outstanding contribution’. The award stimulates us to continue the further exploration of sustainability in project management.
