IPMA is delighted to announce the results of the IPMA Global Research Awards for 2023.
This year we received a significant number of high-quality applications, and the independent IPMA Research judges had a hard work reviewing and evaluating the submissions.
The Judges evaluated the applications based on the following criteria: Research Problem, Research Processes, Research Results, and Research People. Each submission was reviewed by 2-3 Judges independently. As a result, potential finalists were selected in each category. All judges collectively made the final ranking and decision about the winners during a final virtual meeting.
This year, we received a significant number of high-quality applications in the IPMA Research Award category, and the final judge decided to award not one but two winners in this category.
The winners are:
Professor Giorgio Locatelli from the Politecnico di Milano, Italy, with the project “The successful planning and delivery of Megaprojects: a short and long term perspective”.
Professor Young Hoon Kwak from George Washington University, USA, with the project “Sustainable Smart City Framework for the Future”.
Congratulations to both winners and to all their colleagues involved in their research!
In the IPMA Graduate Research Award category, the winner is Jianfeng Zhao, PhD student from China with a PhD research titled “Rethinking value for money in Public Private Partnerships: a critique, analysis and model for infrastructure projects”.
