International Conference on Project MANagement

It is our great pleasure to invite you to the ProjMAN 2013 – International Conference on Project MANagement, a CENTERIS 2013 co-located conference, to be held in Lisbon, Portugal, from 23 to 25 October, 2013.

Project Management is nowadays seen as the application of knowledge, skills, methods, techniques and tools to the activities of a project, aiming to satisfy its requirements and achieve success at several levels. A plethora of valuable technical and business opportunities and solutions are created and developed all the time only thanks to good practices of project management.

ProjMAN is a forum for academics, managers and solution providers, which brings together researchers and practitioners from all over the world, promoting opportunities to share experiences, debate ideas, identify tendencies, and introduce the latest developments in the largely multidisciplinary field of Project Management.

ProjMAN 2013 seeks high-quality contributions on theoretical foundations, innovative design and development, case studies, experiences, evaluation and understanding of project management, among others.

Submissions can be made as a full paper, short paper, poster paper or industry paper. Only original contributions will be accepted and the submissions will be reviewed on a double-blind review basis.

All accepted full papers and short papers will be published in the conference proceedings (proceedings to be published by Elsevier will be available on Sciverse ScienceDirect at the time of the conference).
