Abstract
The term “Grand Challenge” is widely used to signify an overarching and often visionary goal that requires a large-scale, concerted effort for its achievement, harnessing a wide range of expertise, knowledge and capabilities.
Associated with that concerted effort are many subsidiary yet complex challenges.
Such challenges are often capable of being met to a limited extent by cross-disciplinary effort using existing knowledge, but requiring a new focus or further research and development, if the initial solution to a Subsidiary Challenge turns out to be unsatisfactory.
