EVM Europe - Mission, theme and support

The board of EVM Europe had a meeting at the campus of University of Twente to discuss practical details, sponsorship agreements, workshop theme and many other things for the upcoming event in November 28-29, 2012. In order to clarify some issues, the mission, conference theme and academic support has been set into the spotlight at the website.

  • Mission: Our mission is to bring professionals and researchers together in one room to share their ideas. The "Research meets practice" mission makes EVM Europe different than many other conferences.
  • Theme: Although the abbreviation "EVM" in "EVM Europe" is used to refer to Earned Value Management, the yearly conference is not just an EVM conference. Instead, the main theme of the conference is on "Integrated project controls".
  • Support: Just like OR-AS is supported by research done the Ghent University and Vlerick Leuven Gent Management school, EVM Europe is also supported by these academic institutions.

What about OR-AS?

Of course, just like any previous year, OR-AS will sponsor this event (see www.evm-europe.eu). Moreover, there was an agreement that a 1 hour time slot will be dedicated to the presentation of four business games. One of these games is the Project Scheduling Game developed by OR-AS and discussed in our previous blogs.

Be there!
