Report: Problem formulation

10

  • The problem definition and the research questions are excellently motivated, with underlined urgency and scientific, technological and societal relevance for the present and the future;
  • The choice of an approach to solve the problem is visionary, original and argued to be future-proof and possibly applicable to other fields;
  • The relevance of the problem must be supported by examples and evidences (e.g. literature);
  • The paper decomposes the main problem, in a motivated way, into manageable and clear sub-problems;
  • The discussion of the paper maintains full control over all assumptions;
  • There are relevant illustrative qualitative and quantitative examples;
  • The hypothetical solutions of the problem are argued to be far reaching;
  • The paper manages complexity and presents difficult concept in an pleasantly comprehensive way;
  • The problem definition, the research questions and project objectives are connected in visionary ways which go beyond the narrow field of the project (e.g. various applications, enabling technologies).

9

  • Motivated problem definition and research questions with underlined scientific and technological relevance;
  • The paper analyses and scrutinizes the problem definition, e.g. why the problem is relevant and not solved yet by others, what makes it possible to solve the problem now;
  • The addressed problems are quantified;
  • Relevant qualitative examples which illustrate the problem are given;
  • The main problem is exposed as topical and urgent;
  • The choice of an approach to solve the problem is clearly motivated and compared to alternatives;
  • Clear links to applications and utilization are given;
  • Alternative hypothetical solutions with respect to the SOTA and trends in the field are discussed;
  • The problem definition, the research questions and the project objectives are connected in deep and original ways.

8
