I propose a set of criteria which distinguish a grand challenge in science or engineering from the many other kinds of short-term or long-term research problems that engage the interest of scientists and engineers. As an example drawn from Computer Science, I revive an old challenge: the constmction and application of a verifying compiler that guarantees correctness of a program before running it. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2003.
