It is our great pleasure to invite you to the ProjMAN 2013 ? International Conference on Project MANagement, a CENTERIS 2013 co-located conference, to be held in Lisbon, Portugal, from 23 to 25 October, 2013.
Project Management is nowadays seen as the application of knowledge, skills, methods, techniques and tools to the activities of a project, aiming to satisfy its requirements and achieve success at several levels. A plethora of valuable technical and business opportunities and solutions are created and developed all the time only thanks to good practices of project management.
