The research programme SustPM defines the strategic orientation of the research activities of the PROJEKTMANAGEMENT GROUP until 2011. In education and research, we apply a systemic-constructive approach to understanding organizations.

Practical Relevance
The practical relevance of our education and research is guaranteed through close cooperation with project-oriented companies. Students' contacts with the business world are facilitated and promoted during the courses offered (e.g. through case studies presented in class) as well as when writing diploma theses and PhD theses. The students also have the opportunity to attend presentations held by business experts as part of the postgraduate course "International Project Management".
