In a global context marked by the need to combat pollution and preserve natural resources, bioremediation is emerging as a key technology to restore degraded environments. This environmental technology, based on the use of microorganisms, offers effective and environmentally friendly solutions to address problems such as soil, water and sediment pollution. Its potential to [...]
Eurecat coordinates GRAIL, a major European initiative to develop a foundation model for industrial robotics. Funded by the European Commission with more than €40 million under the Horizon Europe programme, the project aims to advance robust and reliable generative AI for robotics and industrial automation. The project is coordinated by Eurecat’s Robotics and Automation [...]
Climate resilience is key to adapting Mediterranean territories to the effects of climate change, protecting ecosystems and generating new opportunities through the bioeconomy. From the retreat of deltas to the loss of fertility of fields, through increasingly vulnerable forests, more extreme temperatures and coastal regression, the effects of climate change are already part of [...]
The mobility of the future is built on highly interconnected cyber-physical systems, where vehicles, infrastructure and digital services make decisions in real time. In this environment, a cyber-attack has a systemic effect and not only affects data but can have direct physical consequences, such as altering trajectories, disrupting services or compromising people's safety. This [...]
Critical infrastructures, such as electricity grids, water distribution and supply networks, the public sector, transport or financial systems, underpin the functioning of a modern society. Any attack that compromises their integrity or affects their availability can have serious consequences for public safety, the economy or the environment. In this context, cyber resilience in critical [...]
Understanding what PFAS are and how to eliminate them is one of the main challenges in managing environmental pollution. PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl chemical compounds) are substances with highly resistant fluorocarbon bonds, also known as "forever chemicals" due to their low biodegradability and high persistence in the environment. For decades, they have been widely used [...]
Every day we use water for cooking, showering, washing clothes, or cleaning our homes. These are everyday and essential actions, but we often forget that everything we pour down the drain doesn’t simply disappear. In this way, many substances end up entering the water cycle and, over time, can return to the environment through [...]
The scientific and technological transformation that society is undergoing requires more female talent across all fields of knowledge, from scientific leadership and applied research to technological development and business innovation. This is not only a matter of representation, but of strengthening our capacity to innovate by incorporating a diversity of perspectives that generate more [...]
If we want to build a truly efficient innovation ecosystem, we need to place companies at its centre. Without a more innovative and technologically advanced business fabric, our competitiveness and territorial resilience, and therefore the quality of life of our citizens, will not improve. In this regard, technology transfer is a key challenge in [...]
The Director of Research and Technology at Eurecat, Myriam García-Berro, highlights Eurecat’s technological strength and its vocation to serve industry so that it becomes increasingly resilient and productive, while also driving the creation of new industrial fabric, in an interview in which she reflects on the transformation that Eurecat has embarked upon to continue [...]
