The University of Ljubljana hosted a two-day in-house training course on Management and Coordination of EC-Funded Projects: The PM² Methodology, delivered by European Academy, a PM² Alliance Affiliated Training Provider (ATP).
Conducted at the Faculty of Social Sciences, this hands-on programme marked the first of two dedicated PM² workshops delivered to the University in 2025, reflecting a growing institutional commitment to project governance excellence and alignment with European Commission-endorsed standards for EU-funded project management.
A Structured Journey Through the PM² Methodology
The training provided participants with a comprehensive, practice-oriented introduction to the PM² project management framework, equipping them with the knowledge and tools to manage complex, multidisciplinary EU projects effectively.
Key modules covered during the two-day session included:
- Understanding EU funding structures and the PM² project environment
- Step-by-step guidance for initiating, planning, executing, and closing EC-funded projects
- Applying risk management, stakeholder engagement, and communication planning techniques
- Using official PM² artefacts and templates such as the Project Charter, Work Plan, and Business Case
- Strengthening governance, quality assurance, and post-project review practices
Interactive discussions, real-case analyses, and guided exercises helped participants translate methodology into actionable steps tailored to their faculties and research teams.
Advancing Academic Project Management Excellence
By adopting the PM² methodology, the University of Ljubljana reinforces its strategic focus on high-quality project management across departments engaged in Horizon Europe, Erasmus+, and other EU-funded initiatives.
