The Centre for Project Management (CUP) is the central coordination unit for the successful management of ZRS Koper’s international and national EU projects.

Its main task is to ensure timely and accurate information, support, and solutions in the field of national and international EU projects, both to the research institutes within the organisation as well as stakeholders in the projects ZRS Koper is part of.
CUP was established in 2010 with the aim of improving success in applying for international funding calls and increasing the efficiency of project implementation.


OBJECTIVES:

  • Supporting researchers in the acquisition and implementation of national and international projects
  • Optimising project management processes
  • Promoting quality and excellence in research
  • Ensuring compliance of project management with funder requirements
  • Efficient absorption of financial resources and project implementation
  • Digitalisation and transparency of processes

KEY ACTIVITIES OF CUP:

  • Identification and support of project ideas: CUP works closely with research institutes to identify and support potential project ideas. By monitoring international and national EU programmes and calls for proposals, CUP remains up to date with the latest information, enabling the development of high-quality project proposals based on informed decision-making.
  • Development of project logic and structure: CUP provides valuable support in the development of project logic and structure, ensuring a solid foundation for successful implementation. This includes defining project objectives, activities, and expected results, as well as ensuring a well-structured project plan..
  • Project management: The main responsibility of CUP is project management. Throughout the entire project lifecycle, CUP provides continuous support and guidance and ensures smooth implementation. This includes monitoring project progress, efficient process management, and fulfilling all administrative requirements, thereby improving the efficiency of project teams.
  • Ensuring high-quality implementation: CUP plays a key role in ensuring the high-quality delivery of projects. By applying precise processes and following best practices, CUP maintains the highest standards during project implementation, contributing to the successful achievement of project objectives.
  • Project documentation management: CUP is responsible for managing project documentation, ensuring that all relevant information is organised and easily accessible. In this way, CUP has access to key data necessary for effective decision-making throughout the entire project lifecycle.
  • Knowledge utilisation: In the final phase, CUP actively applies the knowledge gained during project implementation. Drawing on insights and experience from previous projects, CUP integrates best practices and continuously enhances its professional expertise.

By participating in all key activities, the Centre for Project Management (CUP) makes a significant contribution to the overall success of projects and supports the ZRS Koper in effectively achieving international project objectives. Within CUP, the following units also operate:

The vision of CUP is to become a driving force for the high-quality development of international and national projects at the Science and Research Centre Koper. Its mission is to provide specialised professional support and services in the areas of finance, control, legal support, and project management for project teams. The main objective is to improve the efficiency and success rate of applications and to enhance the overall implementation of international and national projects at the ZRS Koper.
