Research programme

APM’s research programme aims to advance new and existing knowledge for the project profession. By developing innovative research and sharing its findings, APM helps to promote a profession built around learning and collaboration. In this way, research helps to fulfil APM's chartered objectives.

APM’s research programme covers both academic and business research and comprises several components such as research funding, research collaboration, events and dissemination. APM has a broad range of research activities that are open for you and your organisation to engage with at any one time.

For more information regarding APM research or to sign up for the APM research newsletter please contact the team.
