Role within RURACTIVE
The main role of CARTIF in RURACTIVE is coordinating the development of a set of open data-driven tools: the Data Manager System, the Decision Support Tool and the Adaptive Monitoring Tool. CARTIF is also in charge of setting up the monitoring programme by defining a comprehensive set of key perfomance indicators and early warning indicators. The goal of the Adaptive Monitoring Tool, that CARTIF is developing, is to evaluate the implementation and effectiveness of the smart solutions for the RIEs. Continuous monitoring of solutions, mid-term evaluation, and final impact assessment of developed action plans are the main expected results from the project.
