EU project Management – Distinction from Traditional Project Management

European Union (EU) projects are projects that EU bodies select for co-funding in accordance with strategic priorities. These projects must be managed in accordance with EU administrative and financial rules. The most important constraints facing contracting parties relate to formal rules of participation, finance (costs), time schedules, exploitation and long-term project sustainability. The size, complexity and importance of EU projects in economic, political and other terms call for the application of project management throughout a project’s execution. EU project management implies the allocation and use of project resources in a specific period to ensure that objectives, defined in a contract between the EU and partners, are accomplished. The aim of this paper is to explain EU projects and EU project management. Also, the paper seeks to highlight some of the major distinctions between EU projects and EU project management, and the management of traditional projects.
