The SIG PM is dedicated to researching, developing and disseminating knowledge to support project management of large and complex projects like large infrastructure projects (LIPs). Interested members from the NETLIPSE Network can join this group by organizing or attending group discussions on specific themes, organizing events, presenting at conferences and/or preparing publications, tools etc. This SIG is open for all researchers, experts, users and other stakeholders who has interest for active participation and collaboration. Network members can be members of one or more NETLIPSE Network SIGs.
The main SIG PM goals are:
- Supporting the effectiveness and efficiency of LIPs management and governance by creation/developmnet of PM knowledge base,
- Development of global sustainable open innovation collaboration environment and opportunities for LIPs researchers, practitioners and other stakeholders,

The NETLIPSE Network Goals and History
NETLIPSE Network Goals
One of the main goals of NETLIPSE Network is to improve project management effectivnes and efficiency of Large Infrastructure Projects (LIPs) in EU and wider.
History of the NETLIPSE Network
From 2006-2008 the NETLIPSE project, a project in the Sixth Framework Programme, focussed on gathering best practices and lessons learnt in the management and organisation of large infrastructure projects (LIPs) in Europe. 15 LIPs were researched by regional knowledge teams, consisting of experts in the field of project management (representatives from the scientific, project management and client organisations). The NETLIPSE (NETwork for the dissemination of knowledge on the management and organisation of LIPs in Europe, www.netlipse.eu) project presented main findings and an overall vision of how to manage, evaluate, monitor and benchmark LIPs in April 2008. In addition to carrying out the research, the project consisted of setting up an active network for the continuous and interactive knowledge exchange in this field in order to develop the expertise of all parties involved. Dissemination tools were developed to support this continual knowledge exchange, such as a knowledge database with project information, network meetings and site visits to present and discuss results as well as a website (open and closed sections for Special Interest Groups) and a bi-annual newsletter.
From 2008-2010, the NETLIPSE network has run under the TEN-T Annual Programme and now consists of partners from governmental institutions, knowledge institutes and private organisations from 15 European countries, organisations managing and sponsoring the 15 researched projects and other interested organisations involved in sponsoring and realising LIPs in Europe. At the bi-annual Network Meetings representatives from more European member states have participated.
