Eng. Mestdagh is currently the principal investigator of NEWTRAP, an FNR- Luxembourg research project that aims to develop an early pilot production line for a non-intrusive amphibian trap able to automate the production of high-resolution time series images. XM is also coordinating a monitoring programme for biodiversity in Luxembourg, with the aim to detect changes in the distribution and/or abundance of species in the country, mainly the ones included in the European Habitat Directive annexes.
