A History of Professional Advancement in Procurement at Tor Vergata

The University of Rome Tor Vergata is a recognized center of excellence in procurement education, consultancy, and research. Eighteen years ago, the Master in Procurement Management introduced an innovative interdisciplinary framework by integrating law, economics, and engineering into the professional training of procurement specialists, with the aim of developing highly qualified professionals.

Building on this foundation, the International Master in Public Procurement Management (IMPPM) was launched in 2012 with the support of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development and the Italian government. To date, more than 300 public procurement professionals from around the world have participated in the four-month residential program in Rome, attending courses delivered by distinguished academics and leading practitioners, including experts from International Financial Institutions.
