clear personal goals for each of the researchers and was suddenly halved after the
project funding went to short-term arrangements.
Although the publications are not the only output of the project, the results
presented in Fig. 11 are certainly worthy of consideration. It is the fact that during
the periods of 2015–2018 were written and defended all the seven Ph.D. theses of
researchers from project team, and that two more Ph.D. theses are being prepared for
2019; since both the candidates and mentors (who are also the members of the project
team) were occupied with the activities during the process, a decline in the number
of publications is expected. However, no original technical achievements or patents
were registered in the meantime, and since the research effort stayed constant, the
decrease of the project output in the period of 2015–2018 should be accepted as a
fact.
