Strengths ACCESS has the potential to be world leading in communication networks and systems, and is already among the top in Europe Excellent graduate program with an impressive list of PhD courses Very strong international exchange program, but improve in attracting postdocs from top (US) universities

Weaknesses Joint research goals and challenges weakly communicated World class research achievements not well presented, cf., GIPS/Skype Should investigate also in something that is a wild bet, be more precise on which problems you are scratching the surface and where you are deep

Suggestions Be more ambitious with the vision and highlight achievements better Develop a focus scenario that can act as a unifying research problem in internal and external communication of ACCESS, e.g., Green ICT Improve lab facilities, particularly with co-located PhD students Set up controversial panels where you teach industry about the themes in seminars and workshops
