Short CV:

Javier Pajares is a Professor and researcher at the University of Valladolid. I focus my research and teaching activities on Project Management and Innovation Management. Doctor in Industrial Engineering (University of the Basque Country) and Industrial Engineer (University of Valladolid). My research and knowledge transfer activities are carried out within the INSISOC Research Group (INSISOC).

My scientific publications focus on methodological innovations related to project control and risk management. Currently, I am especially interested in the professional competences for managing the projects of the Digital Revolution and in the development of new methodological approaches for managing projects complexity. I have participated as director or researcher in numerous R&D projects with European, national and regional funding, as well as projects with private funding in the fields of project management, mainly within technology companies.

I have also participated in the translation of the PM² guide, the Project Management methodology developed by the Europan Commission) into Spanish and I am vice-president of the “Academic & Universities Advisory Committee​” of PM² Alliance. I belong to the Steering Committe of AEIPRO-IPMA SPAIN (Asociación Española de Dirección e Ingeniería de Proyectos) the Spanish partner of  IPMA (International Project Management Association)
