Concept study support of research projects

Efforts in concept study support of research projects at QUP are presented. We established the CRDF (Concurrent Research Design Facility), where multidisciplinary experts come together concurrently and can use various software tools to make the concept concrete. We also defined a CML (Concept Maturity Level) checklist specifically designed for research, based on the CML framework used in space missions. We report the achievements of the first concept study support, impressions from participants, and lessons learned to improve the next support.
