A plan stands out against the background of the website. In the bottom right, it says “Project Plan”. Stylistically, the graphic is based on a subway network, with different colored lines converging at different round stops. These stops are called R&D, Project Definition, Project Initiation, Idea, and Test Support, among others. The three train lines in red, green, and blue are called Research Line, Production Line, and Development Line. A fourth line in yellow passes through all other lines in a curve. It is labelled Project-Line.

The Project Group

Providing the knowledge base and design guidelines for the design of larger receiver projects.

The group manages larger receiver projects, in particular those, which require a significant amount of development work and interdisciplinary interaction. This includes the scientific specification and technical elaboration, as well as the establishment of cooperation with other research institutions. The group strongly relies on expertise and support from the other groups during project development and design, making close links across the division one of its key characteristics. Final implementation of designs will preferably take place within the Receiver and Software groups.

The group has a high level of expertise in receiver technology, simulations, and operations, while providing large system engineering capabilities to the running projects.
