THE IRNOP CONFERENCE

The International Research Network on Organizing by Projects (IRNOP) was founded in 1993 as a loosely coupled community of researchers. Since then, it has developed to a vibrant worldwide research network. (www.irnop.org)

The IRNOP IX Research Conference on "Organizing by Projects" aims to gather scholars with a background in business, economics, engineering and other fields, with a common interest in projects, project organizations and temporary systems from all over the world. We encourage scholars to submit full papers of current research work. We are looking for research papers using a variety of theoretical and methodological approaches on any topic related to the general theme of "Organizing by Projects". All papers will undergo a double-blind review process.
