The Centre for Project Management (CPM) is a constituent unit of the Kemmy Business School, University of Limerick and is classified by the University as a ‘centre of excellence’. The CPM is located on campus within the International Business Centre. An endowed chair in project management was established at the University during 1991; currently there are 8 full-time staff, 3 part-time contract staff, and an outreach network of 15 part-time tutors. This resource is not static but is being added to continuously. The CPM's mission is to be a leading national, European and international centre for the advancement, dissemination and application of project management knowledge in the private and public sectors. The CPM's particular mission is to transform project management expertise into viable practical solutions for the operational benefit of organisations and companies.
