Project Excellence Award

The purpose of the IPMA Research Award each year is to reward projects that are of the greatest interest, because of their technical content and their innovation, in relation to the disciplines and professions in the field of project management.
On the occasion of the XXII IPMA World Congress during the Opera Show evening, in the magnificent setting of the Parco della Musica, 9 finalist projects were selected from which the winner was chosen.
For the first time the 9 finalists included 4 Italian companies – Snamprogetti now Saipem, Foster Wheeler Italiana, Tecnimont and Saipem – who presented highly significant projects carried out to an exceptional standard using good project management methodologies.
The Jury must undoubtedly have had great difficulty in choosing which from among the Prize Winners should be the overall winner.
The Award went to Foster Wheeler's project (An Outstanding Performance in LSTK Waste to Energy Projects: Lomellina 2 - Project team: Pierfrancesco Sagramoso, Giovanni Negri, Carlo De Simone), that received the applause of all present. Half of the group of 6 Prize Winners were Italian.
