Activities description
WP1. Management
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
