- Derive an overall research objective from a multidisciplinary societal problem
- Find, critically assess and summarize literature from all relevant disciplines
- Identify gaps in knowledge that lead to research questions
- Link the research objectives clearly to the three knowledge domains and aim at solutions/interventions in a multidisciplinary context
- Can design a detailed, justified and well-balanced methodology that potentially answers the research questions
- Formulate expected outcomes and potential results, and identify potential for new results that guide the research methodology
- Collect and analyse relevant data and information, correctly quantifying and interpreting uncertainty, as well as scaling and resolution issues in space and time
- Make a feasible and detailed time schedule and execute this in a timely and efficient manner
- Strike a balance in recomendating interventions, between workable solutions of complex requirements, technical possibilities and genuine interests of the parties involved
- Evaluate, adapt and justify decisions in the (design) process based on changing external requirements and new information
- Evaluate and justify design decisions, in a systematic and reproducible manner
- Design multidisciplinary, sustainable interventions
- Use scientific principles rigorously throughout the research
- Use, develop and validate models, and consciously and justifiably choses between different modelling techniques for spatio-temporal processes
- Draw viable conclusions and generate a good synthesis, and give recommendations that recognize the needs and wishes of stakeholder groups (potentially) involved
- Work independently and professionally
- Discuss effectively the research with peers
- Convey written information effectively using a professionally written and structured research proposal and Thesis
- Convey information effectively using professional visual and oral means in presenting the research
- Show data correctly and objectively, and makes effective choices in visualization
- Integrate ethical and normative aspects in his/her work: is aware of his/her position as scientist and of his/her cultural background
