How can organizing for projects contribute to organizing for grand challenges? This is the question at the core of this presenter symposium which invites project scholars and management scholars to contribute to tackling grand challenges with projects. The symposium is proposed as a forum or “stage setter” to open up new areas of management inquiry on the topic of organizing projects to tackle grand challenges. It is preceded and followed by special issues in different journals including International Journal of Project Management and Journal of Operations Management, respectively.
