+## Description
+
+Constellation is a framework used for lab setups or small-scale experiments in
+HEP. One of its most important goals is that the framework should be easy to
+use for both scientists implementing new devices as well as experiment
+operators.
+
+Constellation features a Qt-based User Interfaces to control and monitor all
+devices in the experimental setup. The focus of this GSoC project is to add new
+user interfaces to Constellation and extend the current ones.
+
+## Project Milestones
+
+* Creating a new GUI to display monitoring data from devices using Qt Charts
+* Modularization of UI elements into reusable Qt widgets
+* Adding the monitoring widget to the existing GUI for device control
+
+## Requirements
+
+* Modern C++
+* Knowledge of Qt is helpful but not required
+* Practical experience with Unix and git
+
