Projects are a form of organising used to envisage futures – interventions into existing social, technological and natural systems. We are committed to educating and researching project leadership for a digital, net-zero future. This can be achieved by addressing challenges that span a range of industries such as software, organisational change, infrastructure and new energy. As we face a changing world it is imperative to think differently about projects and their leadership.

Our series of Project Leadership in a Changing World International Symposia are designed to share the latest thinking on project leadership across an international research, policy and practice community.
