The Sustainable Project Management through PM² (SPM²) project is designed to embed sustainability into project management education across Europe. By adapting the European Commission’s PM² methodology, this project provides a tailored framework that integrates sustainable practices within project management processes, equipping future professionals to address environmental challenges with practical and innovative solutions.
SPM²
Sustainable Project Management through PM²

SPM² seeks to bridge the gap between project management education and the evolving needs of a green economy by developing a standardized curriculum, digital resources, and a modular micro-credential system. This framework will empower higher education institutions (HEIs) and vocational education and training (VET) centers to deliver training that aligns with the EU’s Green Deal, United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and labour market expectations for sustainability-focused skills.
By fostering collaboration with industry leaders, certification bodies, and academic institutions, SPM² ensures that project management education not only responds to sustainability goals but also prepares a resilient and skilled workforce capable of leading green transitions across Europe.
