Guasti imprevisti, se c'è.
Taking into account that the ideas of the teams were different and, L'uso di strumenti e criteri agronomici per pianificare le applicazioni di fertilizzanti alle colture dovrebbe prevalere sull'uso di criteri di dosi massime consentite dalla normativa, the necessary investments, it was difficult to evaluate the specific amount of funding needed for each team to develop the prototype of the idea. Considering the amount of work in the specified time, it was difficult to get all participants to actively use all the opportunities provided by the organizers of the event, per esempio, expert consultations.
Lezioni imparate.
It is necessary to consider a specific budget for each team. A specific coordinator for each team. The time when lectures are provided does not count towards 48 ore.

Several of the invited experts were LRATC consultants, so it was possible to give practical recommendations for the implementation of ideas. Anche, considering that LRATC was one of the organizers, some of the team coordinators were also consultants.
Il tuo approccio può essere trasferito e/o adattato per altre sfide e regioni dell'innovazione??
