Within a period of three years, joint assessments shall be made aimed primarily at identifying, defining and carrying out specific research actions of common interest to further explore under a joint hallmark. Two topical areas form the framework for dev eloping and strengthening the institutional collaboration under this project: a)TA1: Thermophysical characterisationb)TA2: Advanced combustion technologiesDuring the initiating phase of the project, a priority list on specific topics of joint intere st within these areas will be established pursuant to a targeted methodology, referred to as collective intelligence. The rationale is that this approach will require proper personal involvement by key scientists, which is deemed necessary to benefit from the cultural disparities of the partners, and to create the necessary trust and ownership to common objectives and targets. The project will combine innovation, education and research subjected to structured forecasting techniques (Delphi or similar). I n this process, imaginable ways for closing the knowledge gap shall be addressed with emphasis placed on scientific and technological approaches. A selection of appropriate ideas shall be made and be further expanded to a level of precision that enables t he consortium to obtain the required public and private funding to pursue beyond the project, thus, spurring the partners to extend the institutional collaboration into new directions on a highest level of proficiency.Within each topical area, at least t wo new directions to explore will be defined. These directions shall all refer to a subset of scientific and techno-economic criteria responding (preferably) to future needs.Joint institutional research actions planned under this project shall survive th e project by at least three years, and inherently belong to subsequent projects
