About ICPMA
Excellence and world wide network in Construction Project Management
ICPMA
(INTERNATIONAL CONSTRUCTION PROJECT MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATION)
ICPMA was initiated in 2001 in Cannes, France, as an informal group of professionals, academics, and association representatives active in the field of Construction Project Management with the aim to:
- Identify, develop, use and share the knowledge of construction project management worldwide;
- Create an international platform for construction project management;
- Gain recognition for the profession and ICPMA;
- Set international standards for construction project management
Since 2003, ICPMA has gained in membership and following the Association’s 2005 AGM in Prague a constitution has been developed to secure the above. In the following year ICPMA was registered as a non-profit organisation in Switzerland.Until the 2009 AGM the ICPMA membership was based on country principle with the idea of having a representative of professional practice, university and national association from every member country. ICPMA had Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Germany, India, Ireland, Poland, Spain, Switzerland, Turkey, United Kingdom and USA as members.
The 2009 Annual General Meeting in Berlin decided about a new membership structure. ICPMA abandoned the country membership principle and opened itself to any individual and/or organisation associated with the Construction Project Management.
Each member pays only a nominal admission and yearly fee but is committed to a specific professional contribution (e.g. active participation in the ICPMA Knowledge Management Centre, papers, conferences, seminars, practice reports, interviews, contributions to ICPMA website etc.). Organisations become members via their delegates (up to 10 individuals).
The driving idea behind ICPMA membership is to contribute professional experience, share it to achieve the association’s goals, and thus create mutual benefit for all members.
