Project Management Organisation Day 2024: Turning ideas into innovations - project management organisations accelerate change
On 10 and 11 September, the Project Management Agency Network Germany hosted the Project Management Agency Day 2024, bringing together leading institutions that implement research and innovation programmes for the federal and state governments in Berlin. The Project Management Agency Day is hosted by a different network member every two years, this year by the VDI Technology Centre at the Charité Campus Virchow Klinikum in Berlin.
"We project management organisations are the bridge builders that enable collaboration between research, funding and industry - so that ideas can be turned into solutions," says Sascha Hermann, Managing Director of the VDI Technology Centre and current spokesperson for the project management organisation network. "In this way, we make a decisive contribution to securing Germany's position as a leading centre of innovation and strengthening the future viability of our society."
A total of around 350 participants attended the Project Management Organisation Day and listened to presentations by representatives from the federal ministries and the scientific community. The central importance of project management organisations for a sustainable and effective research and innovation system was emphasised.
Participants were able to discuss other key topics in workshops, including the success of social innovations, the digitalisation of funding management and AI in science communication. The Project Management Organisation Day also provided an opportunity for participants to engage in individual discussions.
