Festival of Education and Research 2023
Transition to a new reality
The Festival returned on 8 February 2023 to discuss the latest research, trends, and skills, shaping the transition of project management to its new reality – one on which it's critical for the project community to be prepared for.
It provided a valuable opportunity for students, academics and early career project professionals to meet prospective employers, network with each other and develop skills and knowledge.
The Festival is now available to watch on demand.
With thanks to our sponsors
