Yesterday, the new Research Advisory Board of the GPM Deutsche Gesellschaft für Projektmanagement e. V. was constituted yesterday. The GPM is the leading professional association for project managers in Germany and makes a significant contribution to professionalization and certification.

Prof. Timo Braun, who has taken on the role of Chairman, is looking forward to working with the new committee. The members of the Research Advisory Board include: Prof. Dr. Alexander Bull (IU International University), Prof. Dr. Christine Falkenreck (HS Hof), Prof. Dr. Claus Hüsselmann (TH Mittelhessen), Prof. Dr. Martina Huemann (WU Vienna and UCL London), Prof. Dr. Alexander Kock (TU Darmstadt), Prof. Dr. Martina Peuser (Leibniz FH Hannover) and Prof. Dr. Søren Salomo (TU Berlin and DTU Copenhagen).

After the welcome address by the President of the GPM, Prof. Dr. Peter Thuy, who presented the GPM's expectations of the committee, the future tasks of the Research Advisory Board were outlined:

  • Thematic impulses from project and management research for project management practice
  • Submitting programmatic proposals to better dovetail project management practice and research
  • Recommendations as a "sounding board" for planned studies supported by the GPM
  • Impulses for the implementation of events at the interface of project management research and practice
  • Improving the promotion of young academics in the field of project management

In addition to his role on this committee, Prof. Braun is also involved in the association in other ways, including as head of the salary and career study, as a jury member of the German Project Management Study Award and as a member of the "Project Management at Universities" specialist group.

Prof. Braun's role on the Research Advisory Board and his commitment to the professionalization of project management are in keeping with the University of Kassel's tradition as one of the leading project management locations in Germany.
