Scientific approach. Not to exceed 3 pages, the Offeror shall develop an outline for their approach to addressing the anticipated work stated above and in the scope of work. The Offeror may only propose additional geographic and environmental variables to consider, not mentioned in the RSOI, but pertinent to the study issues. The Offeror shall be evaluated as to the soundness of the overall approach and use of any innovative techniques to accomplish project objectives.
Scientific approach. Feasibility of the scientific approach described. - If the research methodology proposed is appropriate to achieve the project’s objectives. - If the proposal involves the creation of a new methodology. - If time and resources of the proposal are properly justified. It will be positively valued that the candidate has, at the time of the interview, an endorsement from some Vall d’Hebron University Hospital Clinical Service.
Scientific approach. The relation between science and society works both ways: show society how science works and show scientists how society works. • There are a lot of topics that are being researched in the scientific world that are extremely relevant to society because of their ethical and social impacts. So, there should be a collective research with all the questions that people can make. • Opening your research can bring important benefits: sometimes, the research questions of citizens are much more interesting than the ones from the scientists; their participation can enhance communication, increase impact and more contrasted experiments. • Innovation requires time and resources, so any project focusing on funding pressure will be efficient but likely not innovative. • How to make science accessible: o Design the process in a way that is fun and friendly but also accurate and without oversimplifications. o Bring researchers and experts to talk about science but also to show how science is done. Promote science inquiry. o Read on a regular basis literature in Science Education, Science & technology studies and Science Communication. o Language matters. It is good to hire communication experts that get inputs from science experts and write the texts for the public. o The role of facilitator is essential, who must understand the audience through a process of co-creation. o In every workshop there should be one expert on the topic treated: deep knowledge of the topic provides opportunities for conversation and discussion. o It is a good practice to enable different-points of entry into an activity (that means for people who do not know anything, something or a lot). Collaboration between citizens with different levels of knowledge about a topic usually works very well. o Technology can play a role in making science accessible. Design platforms for citizens can break barriers. Accessibility and inclusivity must be carefully considered in every technological design.
Scientific approach. Please describe the scientific approach of the project.
Stream 1 Technology: For LEC tool kit development, progressing static and dynamic grid date, real-time data from the field, user preferences, forecasts, etc. are collected, developed and processed. New algorithms for a smart and efficient management of the integrated energy systems will be developed (e.g., based on artificial intelligence). By performance data analysis within and between the demo sites, the flexibility potential of different components will be analyzed.
Scientific approach. 2.1. To what extent is the scientific approach described feasible?
2.2. To what extent is the research methodology proposed appropriate to achieve the project’s objectives?
2.3. To what extent does the proposal involve the creation of a new methodology?
2.4. To what extent are time and resources of the proposal properly justified? The VHIR’s ad-hoc Search Committee will evaluate the scientific track record. ANEP will evaluate the research project on a qualitative basis.
