# | Fattori di valutazione | Punteggio | Breve giustificazione del punteggio |
|
1 | Originalità del Progetto e suo contributo al progresso delle Conoscenze scientifiche | 5 eccellente | very promising approach to the current debate on the interrelations of identity and memory; to link historiography and public discussions will be a very useful contribution to this debate |
2 | Chiarezza e verificabilità degli obiettivi | 4 buono | Overall the focus of the single research units is clearly defined. However, Unit 1 consists of too many items; their interrelations and comparative aspects of this unit could be better focussed. The scheduling of the 4 units differs as well. Units 3 and 4 are excellently planned in terms of time management; their intended interim worshops and conferences will prove valuable in connecting the single projects in these two units. The schedulinng of the two other units (1 and 2) is less detailed and should therefore be specified. |
3 | Appropriatezza dei metodi e delle tecniche da utilizzare | 5 eccellente | The methodological approach is very convincing. Especially its combination of questions of historiography, memory and political culture is original and promises to yield important new findings. |
4 | Adeguatezza delle risorse | 4 buono | The sources the four research units name are adequate to the purpose of the studies, especially the singling out of newspapers as a way to learn of current public debates. What is less evident, however, is the way in which the research trips to archives abroad will contribute to the projects’ aims and what specific goals are to be achieved by using those sources. This particularly relates to the list of archives in the exposée of Unit 2. It should be specified which sources the researchers expect to find in the archives. Concerning Unit 3, the archives to be visited should be specified. |
5 | Congruità del finanziamento richiesto | 3 discreto | The costs for research trips and translations should be checked and specified. |
|
6 | Competenza del coordinatore scientifico | 4 buono | Tomaso Detti is a renowned expert in the fields of the history and historiography of the Labour movement and socialism. His growing interest in questions of historiography in general and the public uses of history is evidenced in his latest publications and makes him an apt principal coordinator in this respect. His collaboration in a joint research project throughout the last years make it highly likely that he will have no difficulty in preforming the required coordinating tasks. His contribution to the project on a general level is no further specified, however, beyond his role as a principal investigator in Research Unit 1. Moreover, since the project on the whole focuses mostly on US and European history, his concentration on Italian history in the past may constitute too narrow an approach. |
7 | Competenza dei gruppi proponenti | 5 eccellente | All the four principal investigators are high-ranking and very competent experts in both the areas of intended research and in the coordination of research activities, as their publications and positions in the scientific community demonstrate. |
8 | Complementarità dei gruppi proponenti | 4 buono | The proposed partnership seems to be very promising as to the expected research findungs since the four principal investigators of the single research units provide for complementarity in competences and units. The research network allows for even broader comparisons than in the single research units and will further the scientific yield. The complementarity of competences and tasks within the single research units, however, cannot be assessed since no further information on the other particiants and their intended course of study is given. |
