What has the ATTRACT seed funding enabled you to do so far?

We had the resources to test the following concept: can we evaluate the health of trees through the sound that they emit when we hit them?

 What challenges have you faced so far?

The fact that is not so easy to obtain a clean noise when we hit a tree with a very thick bark.

Where does your ATTRACT journey go from here?

We should start looking for companies interested in developing manual devices that analyse in an easy way whole forests.

Sum up in two sentences the advantages of the ATTRACT Programme over other research funding schemes.
  1. easy and fast to present the main breakthrough ideas
  2. easy to work with (very little paperwork).
