The EURAM conference in Kristiansand served as an inspiring forum for exchange for the University of Kassel. The university was represented by the Department of Project Management in Digital Transformation (Prof. Dr. Timo Braun) and the Department of Technology and Innovation Management and Entrepreneurship (Prof. Dr. Patrick Spieth).

Two outstanding presentations from Kassel highlighted new approaches to future-oriented project practice:

- Joana Gerstle & Timo Braun presented the concept of Project Citizenship Behavior for the Environment (PCB-E): Small, individual actions in everyday project work can have a major impact on sustainability—especially in temporary organizations.

- Luisa Habbel, Dr. Falkenreck & Timo Braun developed a values-based approach to cognitive orientations in project management—moving away from the classic growth vs. fixed mindset dichotomy toward a perspective that focuses on values, attitudes, and ethical convictions.

The conference confirmed that research is more than just papers—it is about exchange, enthusiasm, and a shared journey.

The work of the Kassel teams shows that sustainable and people-centered project management is not only possible but necessary!
