Congratulations to our Director for being promoted to Professor of Project Management

We would like to take this opportunity to congratulate our Director Professor Christine Unterhitzenberger for becoming the new Chair in Project Management at the University of Leeds.

The panel was very impressed by her achievements after transitioning from industry to academia, her vision for bettering practices by moulding the professionals and the academics of the future, and her values that drive everything she takes on. The interview focused on future plans and the panel expressed their excitement to seeing where Christine (and the Leeds Centre for Projects) will move in the future when it comes to teaching, research and engagement!

Prof Carlo Prato, Head of the School of Civil Engineering and panel member, stated: "Congratulations Christine, it was an absolute pleasure to see how your vision and your engagement for not only the progression of your career, but also the growth of a wide community of students, practitioners, and academics, have led you to this well-deserved recognition!"

Read Christine's reflection on this next step in her career on her LinkedIn post.

We all from the Leeds Centre for Projects are delighted that you are our new Chair in Project Management. Congratulations, Christine.
