Update & Invitation to join the PMUni Network!
By Martina Huemann and Gregor Sellner
PMUni is an international social network of universities, research and education insti-tutions from different countries such as Denmark, France, Hungary, Ireland, Norway and Slovakia and Austria. The objective is to promote professional education and research in process and project management by exchanging experiences between education and research institutions as well as process and project-oriented compa-nies. The benefits of the PMUni Network include creating cooperation potentials be-tween the partners in education and research and performing education quality management projects and research projects.
Currently the PM Uni Network has 14 partners: BI Norwegian School of Manage-ment, Corvinus University of Budapest, ESC Lille, National School for Political and Administrative Studies, Slovak Technological University, University of Applied Sci-ences BFI Vienna, University of Economics Bratislava, University of Limerick, Univer-sity of Miskolc, University of Pannonia, University of Southern Denmark, University of Zilina, PROJEKTMANAGEMENT GROUP- Vienna University of Economics and Busi-ness Administration, 2B Cognitus. The network participants meet 3-4 times per year, at different venues to exchange information, initiate and work on joint projects.
On May 28th 2008 the PMUni partners and new potential partners met in the PMUni Workshop in Vienna. The workshop was hosted by the WU-Wien, and organized by Roland Gareis and Renate Prantner. This time the focus was on project management education. Some of the participants presented their project management education programs: Lynn Crawford, Bond University (Aus), Christian Malus, University of Applied Sciences Bfi Vienna (A), Pernille Eskerod, University of Southern Denmark (D), Christophe Bredillet, ESC Lille (F), Mihaly Görög, Corvinius University of Budapest, (H), Anne Live Vaagaasar, BI Norwegian School of Management (Nor).
A central part of the workshop was the presentation of the first results of the PMUni project pm education mature. In this research project the maturity model “pm education mature” was jointly developed by the PMUni partners. First pilot analysis of the project management education programs of the PMUni partners were analysed and benchmarked. One of the major benefits of this research project is to encourage and foster the knowledge transfer between the cooperating universities concerning content, working forms, evaluation forms, etc. in project management education programs.
Guests like Roger Aktkinson, Bournemouth University (UK) presented PMNetwork – Project Management for Excellence in Learning & Teaching. Edwin Andrews, PMI (USA) reported on PMI’s planned Education programs and service initiatives. Patrick Fritz, University of Applied Sciences Vorarlberg (A) introduced Jahooda, a project and process management platform launched by his university (http://www.jahooda.org/).
The next PMUni Workshops are scheduled as follows:
