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.

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.

Services

01

Hypotheses, protocols and comparison criteria

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.

02

Experimentation

Tests at a pilot site, with data collected in a documented way.

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.

First step

Let’s explore a research collaboration

Share hypotheses, technology, data, pilot site and success criteria.

Where do we start?

What it may be useful to share

Hypotheses to verify

Technology or method

Available data

Pilot site and success criteria

Let’s talk about your project

Share your need, location and stage of the work.

A few lines are enough: the decision to support and the data already available.
