The EUPM² Guide has been elaborated in the framework of the Erasmus+ project “A New Academic Path for EU Project Managers: narrowing the Gaps to enable better Project Design and Management in Europe (EUPM²),” whose main objective was to create a common academic path based on a shared curriculum that integrates EU project design and management methodologies to manage EU- funding projects more effectively.
The EUPM² project pooled seven universities and organisations with relevant expertise in EU project design and management to better align higher education sector curricula with job market opportunities and requests for the EU Project Manager profile.
The integration work was based on the European Commission’s “Open PM²” initiative to promote a common European-wide project management methodology. The PM² methodology is particularly suitable for creating a standardised university-level curriculum. PM² is a European open-source methodology that is light, lean, easy to understand, and significantly flexible to be adapted to the specific rules and context of the EU funds and with the most common EU project design methodologies.
