About our ProjectLab
ProjectLab is a research and teaching group initiated and directed from the Technical University in Denmark (DTU) with collaborators from Aalborg University and Copenhagen Business School. We support the development practices for managing projects to enable societal transformation.
Projects abound in contemporary society and have become a vital form of organizing deliberate change, from the development of new technologies to implementation of sustainability policies, and it is, therefore, reasonable to argue that we are in the wake of the Project Society.
Projects are particularly central to engineering. Engineering is about creating value for society and businesses by solving societal challenges through the development and implementation of technology. Engineering is a matter of change, a change that is organized in projects, one way or another. Arguably, project management is the second most important competence for engineers. Project management enables engineers to organize their technical capabilities in a team that collectively solves societal challenges. Most, if not all engineers will be involved in projects throughout their education and career.
Our teaching ecosystem targets every student and practitioner with a special interest in projects. Building our unique resources and innovative learning practices, we help our students successfully participate in any kind of project, becoming reflective project practitioners and change agents. Our courses cover the field of Project Management, Program and Portfolio Management.
Our ProjectLab is developed and maintained by a 4-professor faculty staff, several PhDs and postdocs, and student assistants sharing our passion for projects.
