\section{DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSED PROGRAMME}
\subsection{A) Scientific Rationale}
This template is for Normal Proposals, including DDTs. Replace this text by your scientific justification.
The full text must be 2 pages or less. Page 3 and following will be cut. When ready, print/export this file to PDF and import the PDF into the P1 interface.
The following settings should not be modified for the main text:
- Margins set to 2.5cm (top), 1.5cm (bottom, left, right)
- Font of the main text set to Arial, 10pt
- Spacing set to 0pt before a paragraph, 5pt after a paragraph\\
{\bf Scientific rationale: in this section, discuss the scientific background of the project, pertinent references; previous work plus justification for present proposal}. This text can be removed.
