Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to investigate the potential for using metrics to measure the likelihood of achieving the values desired by project stakeholders of R&D projects in the university context and to propose a selection of metrics for practical application. Design/methodology/approach: A literature review was conducted to identify the metrics proposed for R&D projects and the values expected from such projects by stakeholders. Interviews with R&D project managers from universities were carried out to determine the current use of metrics in university-based R&D projects. Conceptual analysis was employed to propose a selection of metrics to be introduced, on an obligatory basis, into the management of R&D projects at universities. Findings: A very low maturity in value-based and metrics-based project management at universities was confirmed. While several metrics are used, they are not those related to project values, which is detrimental to the success rate of R&D projects at universities. The use of value-based metrics should be gradually embedded in the management of R&D projects at universities. Research limitations/implications: The findings described in the paper require case studies of practical application, through which the list of values and the corresponding metrics can be completed. Originality/value: The problem of the absence of value-based and metrics-based project management in the university context was emphasized, and an initial proposal was formulated regarding how these aspects should be implemented at universities. The targeted audience of this paper includes individuals involved in the management of R&D projects at universities, whether as project managers, project team members, university division managers, or employees of project funding institutions.

Purpose: The primary aim of this article is to identify barriers to managing R&D projects conducted at universities, based on literature and case studies. Additionally, the paper aims to define the specificity of the concept of barriers in managing R&D projects conducted at universities in the context of the concepts of risks and uncertainties and to propose the fundamentals for barrier management in R&D projects conducted at universities. Design/methodology/approach: A literature review and a case study were used to define and identify barriers in managing R&D projects conducted at universities. Conceptual analysis was applied to propose a system for managing the barriers. Findings: Barriers are a concept worth analysing separately from that of risk and uncertainty, as they represent a fixed feature of R&D projects and their environment. The management of barriers is primarily future-oriented and is based on a learning process. At the same time, it can bring immediate benefits to the projects currently being implemented. This system should be embedded within a university-wide project management system. Research limitations/implications: The findings described in the paper require case studies of practical application, through which the list of barriers and the corresponding immediate and future measures can be completed. Originality/value: The targeted audience of this paper includes individuals involved in the management of R&D projects at universities, whether as project managers, project team members, university division managers, or employees of project funding institutions. The paper draws their attention to features of projects and their environment which, being of a fixed nature, present constant obstacles to achieving project success. It emphasises that steps should be taken to gradually remove these barriers.
