3.2Solution 3 · Line of intervention
Applied Research & Demonstration
Does a method also work outside the laboratory? Researchers, academics, innovative companies and operators need to verify its performance and limits before adoption.
For whom
- Researchers
- Academics
- Innovative companies
- Operators

Services
What the line of intervention includes
Solution 3 · Line 3.2: the services can be activated individually or together, depending on the project and the agreed phases.
01
Hypotheses, protocols and comparison criteria
02
Trials and pilot sites
03
Data analysis
04
Test reports and documented datasets
05
Prototypes and demonstrators
How it works
Hypotheses, protocols and tests with explicit comparison criteria
We define hypotheses, protocols and comparison criteria; we develop experiments and analyse data with environmental, modelling and digital expertise. Test reports, documented datasets and prototypes help decide whether and how to extend the application.
01
Hypotheses and criteria
What to verify and with which comparison criteria.
OutputTest protocol
02
Experimentation
Tests at a pilot site, with data collected in a documented way.
OutputField data
03
Analysis
Analysis with environmental, modelling and digital expertise.
OutputTest report

Decision
Whether and how to extend the application, and within what limits.
OutputDocumented dataset and prototype
Output
What you receive and what it is for
Every output states its sources, assumptions and limits, so that it can be used in decisions and in later phases.
Test reports
Understanding the performance and limits of the method.
Documented datasets
Making data reusable and verifiable.
Prototypes
Deciding whether and how to extend the application.
What we clarify
Before starting
Limits, responsibilities and links with the other services, clarified at the start of the assignment.
Validity conditions
Each result holds under the conditions of the test: we state them in the report.
Permits and data access
Pilot site permits, data access and ownership of the results are defined before the start.
Performance
No performance or technological maturity is claimed before the test.
