Within this project we will develop a roadmap for Autonomous monitoring of invasive species in collaboration with authorities, industry and academia. The project targets early detection of invasive species through DNA-based methods and autonomous transfer of data. The data flow will rapidly reach from sensor of detection to decision makers. This project is an “initiation” or step-1-project in Vinnova’s programme Challenge Driven Innovation. Next step is to apply for a “collaboration project” or step-2-project in the same programme, with up to 10 MSEK from Vinnova.
