    DEVPLEX – A website dedicated to researchers and practitioners in complex project development

    Welcome to DEVPLEX, a website created by a team of researchers in the development processes of complex projects. The website provides information on the research project which we are currently conducting and which is expected to have scientific and professional impacts on the practices  in the management of complex projects.

    DEVPLEX was initiated by professors Monique Aubry and Serghei Floricel, from the Department of Management and Technology at ESG UQAM, who set up a team of international researchers interested in complex projects development.

    DEVPLEX features studies and articles published by the research team on the subject and offers continually updated information on the progress and results of the research currently conducted on the development processes of infrastructure projects.

    Our objective is to deepen knowledge on complex projects development and to become a community of practice for researchers and project management stakeholders for sharing studies, observations and experiences.
