To measure the total centre performance, the overall scientific and industrial/societal goals for the centre are broken down into a number of indicators with specified goals for period 2-4 when the centre is in full operation. The indicators are used for each project to measure project performance and are summarized to measure centre performance. The indicators are continuously monitored by the director, the management group the administrative and financial staff, and the centre board. For Stage 2 the following results have been achieved:

Indicator Goal for period 2-4 Status 
Number of reviewed academic publications per year 15-20 OK (~30)
