Abstract
This study reviews the project management challenges in
the large European Funded project (ASSET-Road) which was
coordinated by PTV AG. The project duration was 3.5 years
and commenced in July 2008. Dr. Matti Kutila was the
project manager at VTT, which is Europe's third largest
applied research institute, and Mr. Rigobert Opitz was
the technical coordinator of the entire ASSET-Road
project. The major challenge was the sufficient amount of
communication to maintain harmony in the research vision
between the 19 partners. Two partners were non-European,
from India and Tanzania. The balance between face-to-face
meetings, phone conferences and emailing varied over the
project lifetime. In addition, the budget share of the
partners was different, which obviously influenced the
project results
