The Eurecat technology centre will develop and test an in situ bioremediation technology that uses microorganisms, such as fungi and bacteria, to decontaminate soils in a more sustainable way. This approach is estimated to achieve up to an 85 percent reduction in contaminants compared to conventional methods, which rely on chemical or thermal treatments. [...]
The Centre for Omics Sciences (COS) has emphasized the key role of epigenetics and metabolomics in understanding how the environment, diet and lifestyle influence ageing and human health at its third Annual Symposium, held today at Eurecat technology centre’s headquarters in Reus. Experts from academia and industry explored the business opportunities arising from the [...]
The Eurecat technology centre is showcasing, starting today at the Agrobiotech Innovation Forum in Lleida, autonomous agricultural robots that carry out spraying, fumigation, care and crop harvesting through the integration of technologies such as artificial intelligence, intelligent perception, decision-making algorithms and autonomous navigation. The automation of critical field tasks helps advance towards advanced precision [...]
The Eurecat technology centre is coordinating the European project HYPIEND, an international initiative promoting a study aimed at children aged 6 to 8, with the goal of understanding and preventing the impact of endocrine disruptors on child development and helping to reduce exposure to these chemical compounds that interfere with the hormonal system. As [...]
The third edition of the Omics Sciences Centre (COS) Symposium, a node of the Singular Scientific and Technical Infrastructure (ICTS) OmicsTech and a joint unit of the Eurecat technology centre and the Rovira i Virgili University (URV), will explore the role of metabolic epigenetics in understanding the impact of the environment on human health, [...]
The European project IMPETUS, focused on implementing solutions for climate change adaptation in Europe, is now entering its final stage with significant results in Catalonia that demonstrate the potential of technological and nature-based solutions to mitigate the effects of climate change in the Catalan coast. The activities in the Catalan coast, which will conclude [...]
The Eurecat technology centre is showcasing cutting-edge innovations for companies in advanced prototype manufacturing at Advanced Manufacturing Madrid 2025, including a new 3D printer that combines additive manufacturing and machining, Incremental Sheet Forming (ISF) technology for the production of short series of complex metal parts, and new material treatment technologies such as ion implantation, [...]
Artificial intelligence is driving a new generation of smarter and more autonomous robots that “will be able to learn and understand changing environments, in order to have a positive impact on people and businesses,” explained today Daniel Serrano, Director of Eurecat’s Robotics Unit, during the second day of ROSCon Spain. In just a few [...]
Robotics is undergoing a new revolution: robots no longer merely execute commands, but are beginning to perceive, learn and adapt to their environment with intelligence increasingly similar to humans. The combination of advanced sensors and generative artificial intelligence is rising to a new generation of machines capable of collaborating with people, improvising and even [...]
The Technology Development Centre of the City of Energy Foundation (CIUDEN) in Cubillos del Sil and the Eurecat technology centre have successfully completed the first phase of a project to develop a pilot plant aimed at using green hydrogen and captured carbon dioxide to produce high-purity methanol more efficiently. The first phase, with a [...]
