The official Call for Papers is now available, with the abstract submission deadline set for 22 January 2027.
The Universidade de Santiago de Compostela (USC), through its Engineering Projects Area and the PROePLA Research Group, together with the Spanish Association for Project Management and Engineering (AEIPRO–IPMA Spain), invite researchers, academics, project management professionals and industry experts from around the world to participate in the 31st edition of this international congress.
CIDIP 2027 will once again bring together the scientific and professional communities to share research, exchange knowledge, explore emerging trends and strengthen international collaboration in Project Management and Engineering.
The following dates have been officially announced:
- 22 January 2027: Abstract Submission Deadline
- 2 February 2027: Notification of Abstract Acceptance
- 12 February 2027: Early Bird
- 2 April 2027: Full Paper Submission Deadline
- 4 June 2027: Presenter Registration Deadline
- 6–8 July 2027: CIDIP 2027, Lugo, Spain
Authors are encouraged to review these deadlines carefully and plan their participation accordingly.
A Hybrid Format
CIDIP 2027 will maintain its hybrid format, enabling participation both on-site and online.
On-site participants will have the opportunity to present oral communications and posters, attend thematic sessions, participate in scientific discussions and establish professional connections.
Online participants will be able to present and defend their contributions live through synchronous sessions.
Each presenting author’s registration will allow the presentation of a maximum of two communications.
The Congress will also include the International Seminar on Project Management and Engineering, featuring scientific contributions and keynote lectures in English, further strengthening its international dimension.
Scientific Visibility: Scopus and DOI
Welcomes scientific contributions across ten thematic areas
Abstract Submission Deadline: 22 January 2027
One of the key benefits of participating in CIDIP 2027 is the international dissemination of scientific research.
The Congress proceedings will be indexed in Scopus, and each paper included in the proceedings will be assigned a Digital Object Identifier (DOI).
The Congress encourages authors to submit their contributions preferably in English, supporting international visibility and indexing in future editions.
Ten topic areas
CIDIP 2027 welcomes scientific contributions across ten thematic areas covering a broad range of disciplines, from project management and engineering to sustainability, technological innovation and professional practice:
- Project Management and Direction
- Civil Engineering, Urban Planning and Territorial Organization. Construction and Architecture
- Product, Process Engineering, and Industrial Design
- Environmental Engineering and Natural Resource Management
- Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energies
- Sustainable Development and Development Cooperation Projects
- Information and Communication Technologies. Software Engineering
- Risk Management and Security
- Educational Innovation in Project Direction and Engineering
- Good Practices and Business Cases
These areas provide opportunities for researchers and professionals to present innovative approaches, research findings and practical experiences addressing current and future challenges in project management and engineering.
The official congress platform will be available from Friday, 20 November 2026, allowing participants to register for CIDIP 2027 and submit their abstracts.
The platform will be accessible at: https://cidip.aeipro.com
Researchers and professionals wishing to present their work are encouraged to prepare their submissions in advance.
The deadline for abstract submission is 22 January 2027, the first and most important milestone for authors planning to contribute to the Congress.
The 31st International Congress on Project Management and Engineering (CIDIP 2027) will bring together researchers, academics and professionals at Campus Terra, Universidade de Santiago de Compostela, in Lugo, Spain, from 6 to 8 July 2027.

Educating the project managers of tomorrow requires developing competencies, judgment and adaptability
Educating the project managers of tomorrow requires more than teaching tools and methodologies. It also means developing competencies, professional judgment and the ability to adapt in an increasingly complex and rapidly changing environment. This was one of the key messages underpinning the thematic panel “Active Learning and Competency Development in Project Management Engineering Education”, held during the CIDIP/ICPME 2026 and coordinated by José Luis Yagüe, Professor at the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid.
Photovoltaic energy is no longer just about installed capacity; it has become a challenge of territorial integration
Photovoltaic energy is no longer merely a question of installed capacity, generation costs or technological efficiency. It has evolved into a challenge of integrating renewable energy with the territory, agriculture and existing infrastructures.
This is the main conclusion drawn by Emilio Muñoz Cerón, coordinator of the thematic panel “Agrivoltaics, Photovoltaic Systems and Energy Transition”.

Smart livestock technologies win the Jaume Blasco Innovation Award
An innovative low-cost IoT system for monitoring environmental conditions in sheep pens has received the Jaume Blasco Innovation Award at the 30th International Congress on Project Management and Engineering (CIDIP 2026). Developed by researchers from the University of Zaragoza, the award-winning work uses ammonia, temperature and humidity sensors to support animal welfare and decision-making in precision livestock farming.
“Society will not ask whether we achieved the project’s objectives; it will ask whether it was worth delivering the project the way we did”
