Scientific Committee
Although the main focus of the 33rd IPMA World Congress program is practical, it still includes a high-quality academic segment. The academic program runs alongside the main event, and all ticket holders have full access to every part of the program.
The preparation of the academic program is overseen by the Scientific Programme Committee, chaired by Prof. Giel Bekker from the University of Pretoria, South Africa.
Below, you can see the complete Scientific Committee.
