The first stream is related to human factors of project management such as leadership, creativity, teams, well-being, legitimacy and credibility, attitude, CSR / ethics, involvement and motivation. Papers related to time management, emergency, urgency and stress are also of interest in this stream as it is a key element in projects and resources encounter great impacts that are not yet much under research scrutiny.

The second stream of interest is related to practice-based research on what project managers actually do and the relevant social theories that may contribute to a better understanding of this. Papers examining how the various project management methodologies such as the PMBoK, Prince2, Agile, and Lean along with local innovations, are put into practice are welcome. Along with this the use of social and practice theories such actor-network theory, activity theory, structuration theory, critical theory, practice theory and other approaches are welcome.
