Conference dinner at the Vasa Museum
IRNOP's conference dinner will take place at the
Vasa Museum
, where we first will get an exciting tour around the Vasa ship. During this guided tour we will find out more about the ships very short and at the same time very long history. The museum's experienced guides will show us around the ship and tell us about the construction of the Vasa, the short sailing, the sinking, the salvage and how to preserve the ship for the future.
The evening also includes a short mingling in the ship's hall before or after the guided tour, and then we continue with dinner in the Vasa Museum's restaurant.
Address: Osquars backe 2, KTH Campus, Stockholm,

Navigating the Future of Project Management: Industry and Academia Insights
During this workshop, we will focus on the present and future challenges of project management. In a half-day session, we will engage in interactive discussions centered on future trends and challenges in project management, with a strong industry focus. As the world prioritizes sustainability, project management will face new and complex challenges. Our guest speakers from the industry will share their insights on these challenges from their perspective, while academics will elaborate on the latest research trends. For instance, as project organizations become more geographically dispersed, there will be a need for effective virtual collaboration tools and strategies.
