The Eurecat technology centre is taking part in the RECIPLAC project, supporting the social integration company Andròmines and the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya – BarcelonaTech (UPC) in developing a new advanced computer recycling process which will make it possible to recover critical and high-value metals such as palladium, copper and neodymium magnets. The project [...]
The Eurecat technology centre, in partnership with the Open Source Robotics Foundation and PAL Robotics, is hosting the ROSCon Spain 2025 conference, an event that will gather Robot Operating System (ROS) developers for the first time in Barcelona so they can learn and work together to create robotics applications. The applications of Robot Operating [...]
The Eurecat technology centre has demonstrated the photoprotective and anti-inflammatory potential of polyphenol-rich extracts from agricultural by-products such as chicory leaves, red onion skins, vine prunings and olive prunings, proving their effectiveness in three-dimensional in vitro models equivalent to human skin exposed to UV-B radiation in a paper recently published in the Journal of [...]
The Eurecat technology centre, in conjunction with other European institutions and universities, has conducted a study on the effects of climate change, particularly rising sea levels, on the disappearance of wetlands on the Mediterranean coast. The study points to the need to take action to prevent these formations from vanishing before the end of [...]
The Eurecat technology centre, in conjunction with Catalan SME Doole Health, has developed an advanced telerehabilitation platform called Rehabilify which enables patients to continue their treatment at home while keeping in touch with medical teams and ensuring personalised, effective and continuous monitoring. The platform, which has been backed by the Germans Trias i Pujol [...]
The Eurecat technology centre and Lenium, a company specialising in developing and financing turnkey industrial projects, renewable energies and R&D and innovation initiatives, are to develop energy self-sufficient greenhouses by fitting organic photovoltaic panels which enable both power generation and plant growth. The project involves embedding semi-transparent printed organic cells which “use light synergistically, [...]
With the support of the Eurecat technology centre, ControlCat has embedded advanced artificial intelligence processes into a new software platform called IdenTools which allows real-time traffic characterisation, pattern detection, mobility flow prediction and generating smart alerts which can be implemented to optimise public safety and urban efficiency. This technological solution has also led to [...]
The Eurecat technology centre has built a digital platform to help train healthcare professionals which has 19 modules and three specialised courses to foster the use of innovative tech in key healthcare areas by blending social, technical and digital skills. These training modules have been developed as part of the European e-Hospital4Future (eH4F) project [...]
The Eurecat technology centre is taking part in the DonaIndústria 4.0 Digital and Female Transformation entrepreneurship programme, which kicked off this July with the goal of boosting the digitalisation of Catalan manufacturing through the talent of ten women entrepreneurs with a tech background who will pursue a training pathway in advanced technology and personalised [...]
The Eurecat technology centre has developed a new automated system for dismantling and sorting electric vehicle battery components using collaborative robotics and artificial intelligence systems to simplify recycling at the end of their useful life with a view to cutting processing costs and times, ensuring worker safety and achieving utmost efficiency and sustainability. The [...]
