LIFE Hydrostick

Progress

We organise our work with six work packages that aim us towards our final goal: to have HYDROSTICK devices making the world a better place in every crop plot.

Our progress highlight: We have created our first HYDROSTICK functioning prototype.

WP1: Project management and coordination activities. A strong project management body capable of efficient management that will ensure smooth sailing throughout the project by tackling administrative, financial and legal issues is designed and running.

A Risk assessment and quality assurance plan has been created.

A data management plan has been created.

WP2: Hydrostick system final design and validation. The first functioning HYDROSTICK prototype has been created. It includes a mechanical prototype of the design of the device, motherboard, sensoring capabilities and all other electronic subsystems necessary for this stage.

WP3: Prototype upscaling and pre-series production. We are on our way to designing a production process for the Hydrostick probe fabrication.

WP4: Test plan design and implementation. Once we finish our final functioning prototype, we will follow a testing plan to monitor our environmental impact, and 2 KPI-reports describing the estimated and actually achieved KPIs will be elaborated.

WP5: Dissemination and communication. We have designed a potent dissemination and communication plan, in order to communicate the projects results to relevant target groups and stakeholders and raise awareness for the problem that is treated in the project and advertise the solution.

WP6: Sustainability, replication, and exploitation of project results. We are on our way to develop a business plan for the commercial exploitatio
