Lugo to host the 31st International Congress on Project Management and Engineering (CIDIP / ICPME 2027)
Lugo will be the host city of the 31st International Congress on Project Management and Engineering (CIDIP / ICPME 2027), taking over from Castellón de la Plana as the meeting point for the international scientific and professional community in project management and engineering.
The bid was presented by PROePLA – Projects and Planning Research Group (GI-1716) of the Universidade de Santiago de Compostela (USC). The Congress will be held at the Escola Politécnica Superior de Enxeñaría, located on Campus Terra in Lugo, a leading academic environment that combines excellence in education, research and innovation.
