The Eurecat technology centre is taking part in the LIFE BIOGASNET project that will develop a technology to improve the quality of the biogas produced in waste treatment plants and wastewater treatment plants in order to reduce the carbon footprint of the energy cycle and promote the circular economy. “Increasing the number and improving the sustainability of energy [...]
The Eurecat technology centre has today hosted the presentation of the first project using big data analysis and artificial intelligence to prevent epidemics by helping to predict, identify and mitigate their spread. Technical coordination will be provided by the Center for Innovation in Data tech and Artificial Intelligence (CIDAI). The project is to use advanced digital technology to deliver new mathematical [...]
The fifth XPatient Barcelona Congress, to be held online on 29-30 September, will address new technological solutions and success stories impacting the improvement of the patient experience and will underscore the learnings of patients and professionals during the COVID-19 health crisis. The health crisis caused by coronavirus has sped up the digitalisation of health, something that fosters [...]
A probiotic ingredient for weight control, developed by ADM Biopolis and supported by scientific evidence from studies conducted by the Eurecat technology centre, has been recognised as the Ingredient of the Year at the international NutraIngredients Award in the weight management category. Called Bifidobacterium lactis BPL1, this probiotic shows efficacy in reducing waist circumference and body fat in the stomach [...]
The Hartmann Group and the Eurecat technology centre have devised a new smart dressing using bio-inks which enable colorimetric detection of bacterial infections. The project is called K-BacTrack and has been funded by the Centre for the Development of Industrial Technology (CDTI) as part of its R&D Projects work strand. “The idea is to enhance the quality of life of [...]
3D music, also known as 8D, is booming in the music industry. That’s because it makes it possible to create new sound and immersive effects by playing with the positions of sound in space and its movements in a situation where the measures put in place to curb COVID-19 mean it is hard to access live [...]
The Eurecat technology centre and the University of the Balearic Islands (UIB) have inked a partnership agreement to enable the UIB’s Nutrigenomics research group and Eurecat’s Biotechnology division to launch joint research initiatives on ferrets (Mustela putorius furo) and related areas mainly focused on respiratory and viral diseases. The purpose of the partnership is to enable researchers from the UIB, [...]
The Eurecat technology centre is taking part in the European WATER-MINING project aimed at demonstrating smart and efficient water management systems to drive the transition to a circular economy through innovative solutions for recovering resources from industrial and urban wastewater and seawater. Xavier Martínez-Lladó, Director of Eurecat’s Water, Air and Soil Unit, says drawing on the circular economy in water [...]
The Eurecat technology centre leads a European-level clinical study whose main purpose is to demonstrate that an energy-restricted Mediterranean diet enriched with products typical of the Mediterranean, such as pomegranate, chickpeas, nuts and sourdough bread, is more effective in reducing weight and cardiovascular risk factors associated with youth obesity than a conventional energy-restricted low-fat diet. [...]
The Eurecat technology centre has won one of the challenge categories in the European #EUvsVirus hackathon with a solution for forecasting epidemic outbreaks in real time by analysing sewerage using microbiology and Artificial Intelligence tools. It has been developed in conjunction with researchers from the KWR Water Research Institute, Exeter University, Thessaly University and the [...]
