Considering the variety of formal and human skills implied in effective project management practice, and the difficulties at building proper educational programs, this paper describes the innovative concept developed by HEIG-VD, built around a web-based project management simulation platform. After motivating the need for newly built educational programs in project management, we point out the requirements for such a platform, and present our achievements, concluding with future developments opportunities and further research areas of interest.
