PMSA launches prestigious excellence in research award
To recognize members actively contributing to the local and global body of knowledge by conducting and publishing formal research in portfolio, programme and project management, PMSA has recently launched its “Excellence in Research Award”. The first of its kind in South Africa, the award positions research as a vital and integral component of the development of project management in South Africa.
“Project management has effectively been established as a formal discipline and for any discipline to grow, scientific research is required to serve as its foundation. It is for this reason that PMSA is seeking to award and acknowledge a member for excellence in research,” says PMSA CEO, Taryn van Olden.
Perhaps the most prestigious accolade that a South African researcher can hope to secure, the Excellence in Research Award will be presented once a year. A candidate can either put themselves forward, or can be nominated by another PMSA member.
The award will be presented for research of the highest quality that was published in the preceding two years (this year, both 2008 and 2009 will be taken under consideration). Eligible outputs for the prize include the following: • articles published in peer-reviewed journals • papers published in peer-reviewed conference proceedings • monographs for the specialist • books or chapters in books for professionals and/or specialists • industry reports • full theses (research-based doctorate) • full dissertations (research-based Masters degree) • mini dissertations (course-based Masters degree).
