On March 2010, ISPE, represented by Mr. Mihai Dumitrescu, Project Management Dpt. Director, became a member of the Romanian Project Management Association (RPMA).In May, the certification procedures of the project managers were started according to the requirements of RPMA and Romania Project Management – CERT, national member of IPMA (International Project Management Association).

The main goal of these actions is to promote ISPE project management activity according to the international standards in the field and to the project manager’s recognition requirements.
Therefore, we have the pleasure to inform you that the first stage of the international certification was successfully finished at the beginning of July, after the written and oral exam on the project management and project oriented organizations competences.

After graduating the exam, this certification awards with the title „Certified Project Manager”, for B and C categories, the following colleagues: Carmen Gujb?, Florin St?nescu, Virgil Cri?an, ?tefan Andrei, Adrian Popa and Ion Chi?escu.

Having in ISPE a project managers group internationally certified, who have professional competences defined as an occupational standard, essentially contributes to consolidate our company market position, thus bringing a competitive advantage.

This year, on the occasion of the Awards Gala, the Infomediu Europa magazine (member of the European Environmental Press association) awarded ISPE with two prizes:

• The Biggest Gala Award for remarkable involvement during the year 2010 in the environmental protection field – the future Romanian CCS Demo Project
• The “Clean Technology Development” award – air quality control section- referring to all ISPE projects of plants flue gas desulfurization system

A hard work, which has been deployed for many years, was successfully rewarded.

We are indebted to congratulate all our colleagues involved!
