International GEO Workshop on <strong>SAR</strong> <strong>to</strong> <strong>Support</strong> <strong>Agricultural</strong> Moni<strong>to</strong>ring 3.3 Transitioning from Research <strong>to</strong> Operational Use and Capacity Building This section summarizes the main findings of the three breakout groups for Transitioning from Research <strong>to</strong> Operational Use and Capacity Building. Again, the findings of the three breakout groups are shown in Appendix C. The first priority challenge was <strong>SAR</strong> Data, in particular the following attributes: • Cost • Mode of purchase • In-situ data • Interoperability. The second priority challenge was Training and Acquiring Knowledge <strong>to</strong> Use the Data and Understanding the Application of the Data. This challenge had the following aspects: • Cost of training • Location • Language • Relevancy. The third priority challenge was Tools, including: • Software <strong>to</strong>ols for different levels of users • Ease of use of Software <strong>to</strong>ols • Hardware • Complementary (field) <strong>to</strong>ols • Accessing technical support. The fourth priority challenge was Infrastructure. Considerations here consisted of: • Internet capacity • Human capacities • Institutional capacity. The fifth priority challenge was Managerial and Political <strong>Support</strong>. The main Challenges/ Solutions/ Actions/ Owners are shown in Table 3. 22
