•	explain the scientific question and the objectives of the project, and
•	present the overall approach or research strategy to reach the goals of the project.
Part I should present an original and creative idea addressing an important question in the respective research field(s). Furthermore, it should substantiate how the project will advance the frontier of knowledge, and what contribution it will make to the research field(s) i.e. what may be changed, opened, challenged or how the results of the work will alter the current understanding of the field.

References to literature should also be included.
