AB Projects have become an essential instrument for the success of universities. In a contextof globalization and increasing complexity, they must sharpen their resourcefulness to face thesechallenges and adapt to this changing environment. To reach these objectives, they undertake aseries of activities of a unique, concrete and temporary nature, not always technical but managerialones. If universities work with people on projects in the production, transmission and disseminationof knowledge, then they link with society to solve its problems. For this reason, teaching andresearch staff (TRS) should promote a range of professional project management (PM) competences indifferent areas for the proper management of the projects in which they take part. Through a Delphitechnique, a panel of twenty-four accredited teaching experts who are carrying out significant researchand holding directive roles, measured the importance of acquiring and/or improving professionalPM competences by their TRS. Consensus and stability reached after two rounds of consultationconfirmed there are a series of crucial competences for the practice of relevant teaching and pioneerresearch. Results obtained are the basis for a gap plan that allows the TRS to participate in and/orlead university projects with greater self-confidence and personal motivation.
