MEGAPROJECT COST Action Scientific Report
IIA: Innovative Networking
The innovative networking undertaken by the MEGAPROJECT Cost Action has resulted in the achievements of all of the objectives that it has set itself in its first year of operation. Table 1 shows the objectives for the first year of operation and the achievement of those objectives.
OBJECTIVE ACHIEVEMENT OF OBJECTIVE
I - An accessible library of meta-data on European cross-sectoral megaproject cases.
Objective Achieved
The MEGAPROJECT portfolio of cases is now available at www.mega-project.eu/resources. Annex B of this document outlines all of the MEGAPROJECT cases
II - Initial reports by each working group on emergent themes for megaproject performance.
Objective Achieved
Following on from the second Whole Action Workshop in Bratislava each working group has produced an interim report on their cases and emergent themes. These are attached in Annex B of this report.
III - -A special journal issue encapsulating the emergent themes for initial case examination and the methodological challenges in creating these.emergent themes.
Objective Achieved
A special issue of the Organization, Technology and Management in Construction Journal (www.grad.hr/otmcj/) entitled “Megaproject Management” is being produced for
Page 17
November 2012. The issue is edited by Action members and an Action ESR and a wide variety of submissions have been received by Action members.
IV - Web-site established and key stakeholders identified and in receipt of their first communication.
Objective Achieved
The Action website can be found at www.mega-project.eu. A database of Action stakeholders has been created and an initial communication has been sent to all of those identified.
The generation of this portfolio of MEGAPROJECT cases is very significant. Very few large scale empirical studies of infrastructural megaprojects have been undertaken. The dataset is also unusual in the level of detail of its composition. A unique ‘data template’ approach has been formulated to insure that similar data is captured across cases and to ease the identification of cross sectoral themes. A sample of a case generated by the template is given in Annex D of this document. It is very early in project to make a significant impact on stakeholders as the generation of new knowledge is just coming to fruition. However, the Action, as outlined above, has already identified its stakeholder audience and has made an initial communication with them. In addition, new networking is leading to a number of interesting scientific outcomes and research opportunities and these are enumerated in Section IIC.
IIB: Interdisciplinary in networking
The interdisciplinary nature of this Action is fundamental to the new knowledge that it is creating. MEGAPROJECT’s working groups contain mixes of civil engineers, industrial engineers, logisticians, transport and energy professionals, business and management specialists and policy advisors. This highly multi-disciplinary approach has insured the breadth of data collected about each case (for example the emphasis given to stakeholders in projects) and has been instrumental in identifying novel cross-sectoral themes of megaproject performance. Furthermore, the social network of stakeholders that is given by accreting the links of such a diverse Action provides an excellent mechanism for the Action to make substantive societal impacts. At this stage in the Action, the interdisciplinary nature of MEGAPROJECT is proving to be a very effective enabling mechanism.
IIC: New Networking
Page 18
Action Profile
6 new countries have joined the Action and additional 12 new members have joined representing a 43% increase and a 46% increase respectively. Of the 46 individuals who have been involved in the Action, 24% are ESRs and 33% are women including the Action Chair. ESRs have been involved in all aspects of the Action (working group meetings, workshops, STSMs). Unfortunately due to the increase in numbers, it was not possible to fund as many STSMs as had been intended as extra funding needed to be spent MC members attendance. No current non-COST countries have been involved but the possibility for undertaking this in the next year of operation will be actively investigated.
Action Activities
A complete list of action activities is given in Annex C of this report. Despite being at the start of its life-cycle, MEGAPROJECT members have produced nine internal ACtion reports, submitted seven publications that relate to their MEGAPROJECT activities, are editing a special Journal issue and have received a commission for a book chapter on megaproject research methodologies. Action members have three research submissions in progress that relate to MEGAPROJECT activities or involve other members from the Action.
The MEGAPROJECT Action has disseminated its results through two invited conference presentations in February in Burgas, Bulgaria and in April in Düsseldorf, Germany. It has further events planned for this year in June in London and in August in Lille.
IID Self Evaluation.
In the opinion of MEGAPROJECTS’ management Committee, the following are the main successes of the Action so far:
Successful Achievement of Objectives: The Action has succeeded in fulfilling the objectives that it set for itself in its Work Plan for this year which augers well for it to deliver all of the outputs that were indicated in the Memorandum of Understanding.
Page 19
Growth of the Action: The Action has succeeded in growing by over 40% in terms of country and member participation since the launch of the project. It now has a satisfactory ‘critical mass’ of participants to complete all of its activities.
Creating a Network: This Action was not born from an existing network and, furthermore, it combined a vast range of multi-disciplinary expertise. The Management Committee considers that the Action has been successful in forging from these elements a vibrant community that will go on to have a substantive impact on bothe the research and practice of designing and delivering megaprojects in Europe.
The MEGAPROJECT Management Committee has encountered some difficulties in its operations but feeld that it has been successful in overcoming these:
Developing a new research methodology; Undertaking a rigourous and systematic analysis of megaproject cases across sectors is not an activity where there is a large body of existing knowledge. Therefore MEGAPROJECT not only had to create new knowledge but also a new research methodology to create this.

Objectives
Megaprojects are extremely large-scale investment projects that typically cost more than EUR 0.5 billion. Megaprojects are united by their extreme complexity (both in technical and human terms) and by a long record of poor delivery. Their inability to be designed appropriately and delivered on time and to budget has profound implications not only for the construction organisations delivering them but also for the client organisations commissioning them (which are often governments spending public money.) This Action seeks to bring together multi-disciplinary researchers from across COST Countries to tackle the issues of megaproject design and delivery. The Action will produce immediate guidelines to influence practice and a framework to guide future decisions on resourcing EU research in megaproject design and delivery.

III. WORK PLAN
Page 38
(1) OBJECTIVES
Please describe the objectives to be achieved during the grant period and their relationship to the goals of the Action as laid down in the MoU or as modified by the Management Committee.
The main objective of this Action is to understand how megaprojects can be designed and delivered more effectively to ensure their effective commissioning within the European Union.
The objective for this grant period are in support of Phase One and the start of Phase Two as delineated in the MoU. The objectives for this grant period are:
i) to complete the collation of an accessible collection of European cross-sectoral Megaproject cases and to identify emergent cross-sectoral themes that pertain to the performance of Megaproject Design and delivery.
ii) to develop these themes with a provenance of case-based evidence and to start to identify immediate guidelines and future research needs.
(2) ACTIVITIES
Please describe the contents of the activities listed in the budget, their relationship to each other (if any) and to the objectives stated above.
Working Group Meetings
Working Group meetings (one per working group) will be held to complete that activity of cross-sectoral theme identification and the formal documentation of this in report form
Short Term Scientific Missions
Page 39
Where appropriate, ECR will be engaged in STSM to support the working groups in their thematic analysis by allowing face-to-face discussions over a more extended period.
Teaching School
A ‘think-tank’ teaching school for ESR who have been involved in the Action will be held following on from the receipt of the individual working groups’ cross-thematic reports. The purpose of this ‘think tank’ will be to:
i) use an action-learning paradigm (through tuition with research methodology ‘experts’ from within the Action) to create a robust ‘grounded theory’ approach to whole action thematic identification
ii) trial the methodology immediately to establish the cross-Action thematic propositions
The ‘think-tank’ will allow ESRs to substantively increase their research skills whilst at the same time allowing them to make a real contribution to the Action and to form a useful network for their on-going development.
Core Team Meeting
A core team meeting will be held to discuss the outputs from the ‘think tank’ and to express these in terms of a restructured working group organization within the Action
Whole Action Workshop & Membership Committee meeting
This workshop will ratify the emergent themes, the restructured working group organization to support the investigation of these themes and the actual membership of each working group. The revised structure working groups will then meet together to plan their achievement of the deliverables for the end of Phase 2. (This will include the detailed provenancing of themes, the identification of themes that can be converted into immediate guidelines and the stakeholder target for those guidelines and those themes that require further research investigation.) The whole Action will also plan its participation in key dissemination conferences.
Page 40
New Working Group Structure Meeting
The first of the regrouped working group meetings will be held in line with their new objectives.
Publications
An on-line MEGAPROJECT portfolio will be generated that is easily accessible by the Action and its stakeholders and initial communication documents suitable to brief Action stakeholders on its initial progress will be formulated and distributed in line with the stakeholders identified in the MoU.
(3) OUTPUTS PLANNED FOR YEAR
(Including final reports, technical documents, publications and other forms of output.)
The on-line MEGAPROJECT case portfolio
Cross-sectoral themes generated from the cases that relate to the effective design and delivery of MEGAPROJECTS in Europe.
The detailed cross-case evidencing of these themes
The formulation of initial guidelines and the identification of the stakeholders who need access to these guidelines
The formulation of initial research questions for the investigation of themes that require greater provenance.
An effective stakeholder communication strategy implemented with all stakeholders in receipt of at least one communication and important one-to-one relationships established.
Formal progress reports and a suite of research papers (to include a special journal issue and a book contribution) encapsulating the emergent themes for initial case examination and the methodological challenges in creating these.
