Das interne Projekt ESLAB PIVOTAL (Plattformen, Instrumente und Sensoren für Umweltbeobachtungen: Strategie und Maßnahmen für langfristige Nachhaltigkeit) zielt einerseits darauf ab, eine Strategie zur Verbesserung der Auslastung, Effizienz und Langlebigkeit der bestehenden Technologieinfrastruktur durch optimalen Betrieb und Wartung zu entwickeln. Andererseits die Beteiligung regionaler, nationaler und internationaler Akteure (wie SME, Forschungsgruppen usw.) zu fördern, um die Entwicklung neuer Anwendungen und Produkte zu motivieren
In den letzten Jahren hat das Land Bozen viele Ressourcen investiert, um die Entwicklung der Technologie als einen der wichtigsten Wirtschaftsfaktoren zu fördern. Lokale Forschungseinrichtungen unterstützen diese Strategie. Eurac trägt zu dieser Vision bei, indem es die angewandte Forschung in verschiedenen Disziplinen fördert: Gesundheit, Energie, gut funktionierende politische und soziale Systeme sowie Überwachung und Verständnis von Prozessen in unserer Umwelt. Speziell für dieses letzte Thema beteiligt sich Eurac an mehreren Projekten mit Hilfe von Technologie. Die dadurch gewonnenen Kapazitäten, Erfahrungen und Kenntnisse machen Eurac zu einem der wichtigsten internationalen Forschungszentren, die sich auf Bergthemen spezialisiert haben. Der Einsatz von Technologie hat jedoch zwei wesentliche Nachteile: die langfristige Nachhaltigkeit, um ihre Funktionsfähigkeit zu erhalten, sowie den Zugang und den Nutzen für die Bevölkerung.

For every single project, it is necessary to invest time for organization and planning activities. It is especially critical when collaborators participate in more than one project. Time planning is crucial. It is necessary to assign resources to people who have more experience or are dedicated for this activity (e.g. project assistant).
Activities
Organization of resources (personnel and infrastructure)
Planning the strategy and activities (person, activity, deadlines)
Financial planning (accounting)
WP2. Operations and maintenance
Due to the fact that the ESLAB will host technology, it is necessary to administrate it in a proper way. It means, by using it correctly (guidelines), assigning time of use for specific projects (management), doing training (dissemination), using them for data collection (support for activities of research and development), exploiting new ideas (development) and building the strategy for keeping them for long term (maintenance).
Activities
Support for in-situ data collection
Support for test bed definitions
Organization and managements actions inside the laboratory
Annual calibration of equipment
WP3. Fostering innovation and products consolidation
The core of this project lies in this Wok package. The team should grow in a dynamic way and acquire scientific knowledge oriented for specific solutions. We will not create final products for consumers, but we will create prototypes that will be stable enough to reach technology readiness level (TRL) of basic demonstration (TRL 5). It is requested the participation of at least three international master students, because these people will be specifically oriented for one specific task in a continuous period. In consequence, it will strengthen our scientific network.
Activities
Fast prototyping
Processing on-demand
Web services - development and hosting
Ground sensing applications
Proximal sensing applications
WP4. Fostering networking and collaboration
The only way to be included in projects or development of products is by strengthening our current network. It is mandatory to do this for giving long sustainability to the laboratory. We need to participate in meetings, attending presentations of different groups, giving publicity to our products. Design of virtual platforms to open collaboration (social media, web pages, forums, etc.)
Activities
Permanent communication with Eurac research institutes
Permanent communication and collaboration with University of Bolzano faculties and groups
Extending our current network with different regional, national and international partners
Participation within the different ecosystems at NOI park
WP5. Dissemination
It is demonstrated that one of the best ways to give visibility and promotion to current activities, expertise and infrastructure is by doing dissemination. In this sense, it will be mandatory for the team to participate actively in scientific meetings, seminars, writing proposals, expressing ideas in regular monthly meetings (brain storming). Since we are growing in both directions either science or services, but need to protect our knowledge. We must write at least two journal publications during two year period and at least one copyright and/or patent (results of participation with companies).
Activities
Active participation of ESLAB group for seminars
Active participation of ESLAB group for writing proposals
Participation in international conferences
Publication of paper journals and preparation of copyright and/or patents
