I don't understand why we need concept studies? It's not like we're doing anything particularly new. It's just engineering.

Perhaps some vital ontology definitions, process mapping, and enterprise architecture will need to be done.

  The EU has 22+ languages and most studies and results have to be translated. EU Charter of fundamental rights (art. 22) and in the Treaty on European Union (art. 3(3) TEU). So the EU is a pretty good spot for translators. Britan is not part of the EU, but outside of the official stuff, English is used in a lot of practical areas for technical work.

  This is a deep cut I expect will go over the heads of a lot of non-EU residents (though "enterprise architecture" might still clue them in). I was shocked to find RDF-era ontology "research" - already rightly a joke in my US-based undergraduate AI courses in 2003 - going on en masse when I moved to the EU in 2011. I've gotten four job applications so far this year from people with MSc in whatever ontology trash their local university was doing.

    Ontology research is still relevant in the healthcare field. We need better ways to assign codes to the discrete elements of patient records in order to deliver better care and allow for effective data analysis.

      Oh yes. SNOMED, ICD, etc etc. Can't have too many standards!

      Yeah, get that cheddar.

Putting satellites around the Moon is hard, and not just because it's far away. The Moon's gravitational field is wildly uneven [0] which causes a satellite's orbit to decay within a few days if it's in low lunar orbit. The fixes are to fly the satellite high, give the satellite plenty of onboard fuel for orbital corrections, and map the anomalies precisely so you can mostly avoid them. Of course every gram of fuel you add to the satellite makes it that much harder to get it to the Moon in the first place. It's a difficult problem. And that's before you start talking about communications latency. [0] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitation_of_the_Moon https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitation_of_the_Moon
