10 Background (for Applied type research) Questions must be answered in the first 15 seconds of the proposal! TELES (Technical Economic Legislation Environment Social)? Why bother? (what problem are you trying to solve?) Is it a European priority? Could it be solved at National level? Is the solution already available (product, service, transfer)? Why now? (What would happen if we did not do this now?) Why you? (Are you the best people to do this work?) 10

11 Background (for Basic Type Research) Questions must be answered in the first 15 seconds of the proposal! Why bother? (what new knowledge are you generating?) Will this establish Europe as International leader? Is the knowledge already available (state-of-the art)? Why now? (Why was this not done before now?) Why you? (Are you the best people to do this work?) 11
