The Eurecat technology centre has taken part in the European Aero-Train project for fast-tracking a new generation of technologies to automate infrastructure inspection and maintenance by harnessing aerial robotics and smart systems which will help to streamline operations and step up safety. The initiative has fostered training for early stage researchers who have generated [...]
Nactiva, a joint platform for protecting and regenerating natural capital in the Mediterranean, and the Climate Resilience Centre have sealed a strategic partnership to kick off a new project forming part of Nactiva’s Water area and aimed at developing transformative solutions for adapting the Ebro Delta to climate challenges. Coordinated by Eurecat, the Climate [...]
The European project CiSMA, coordinated by the technology centre Eurecat and with a budget of nearly €4.5 million, is to develop 100 percent recycled steel made from scrap and produced in an electric arc furnace to help cut CO2 footprint, boost circular economy and reduce EU’s dependency to critical raw materials in the automotive, [...]
Designing and manufacturing specific chips for key sectors of the economy is one of the technological trends set to shape 2025 says the scientific team at the Eurecat technology centre. They also predict that generative artificial intelligence will continue to grow in the coming year with disruptive applications and greater integration with technologies including [...]
As part of the COMDUR project, the Eurecat technology centre is to develop a digital self-diagnosis platform to enable retail outlets to roll out sustainable activities designed to unlock integrated circularisation in their business operations and thus enhance competitiveness and innovation in this trade sector. The technological platform Eurecat is to implement in the [...]
The Centre for Omic Sciences (COS), a joint unit of the Rovira i Virgili University and the Eurecat technology centre, is building on its cutting-edge research in metabolomics and proteomics applied to life sciences, biomedicine, agri-food and the environment with the installation of two new high-resolution and high-sensitivity mass spectrometers. Metabolomics and proteomics are [...]
