• Assess the current level of automation for end-to-end laboratory workflows in the life science research space and how the strong focus on automating single workflow steps with separated instruments/integrations can delay overall process automation

• Look into business process modelling and management tools as they are applied successfully in other industries and what limits their adoption as a proposed solution for life science automation

• Identify the essential requirements of end-to-end research workflow automation and how business process management tools can help to achieve the goal of a FAIR, digital, lab of the future
