Projectification and Academia

Abstract

The projectification of academia helps higher education institutions improve their competitiveness so that they can respond to the increasingly demanding requirements of society. Projectification allows academics to better organize the heterogeneous set of activities that make up their teaching work. It helps to manageresearch projects more efficiently and to prepare better proposals for public calls.In university management, implementing organizational structures such as a Project Management Office (PMO) helps an institution to deploy its strategy through a set of projects, setting priorities, and optimizing management by sharing resources.Projectification also entails changes in organizational culture Change processes must be carried out with consensus and at the right pace so that academia does not lose its traditional values of excellence, flexibility and autonomy
