The Dutch Project Management Research Awards celebrate outstanding research by Bachelor’s and Master’s students in the field of project, programme and portfolio management.

For the 2024/2025 academic year, students from various academic institutions have been selected for their exceptional theses. Their work was reviewed by an expert jury consisting of academics and experienced project management professionals.

During the award event on 1 April 2026, attendees will have the opportunity to discover the nominated research, ask questions and vote for the Audience Choice Award. The evening will conclude with the presentation of the jury awards and the audience award, followed by a networking moment.
