The Eurecat technology centre is coordinating the European NewAIMS project which is to develop strategies and technologies to obtain cost-effective high-performance steel through metal 3D printing with a process which will integrate additive manufacturing with a custom-designed steel alloy. “NewAIMS seeks to combine a well-tailored steel chemical composition and a non-conventional time-temperature process for 3D printing,” [...]
The Eurecat technology centre has developed a smart plastic surface just 3 millimetres thick which has an interface that allows users to communicate with a machine, software or intuitive system with built-in LED lighting and capacitive sensors which is expected to be embedded in the central electronic system of the new generation of cars. [...]
The engineering and technology group Sener and the Eurecat technology center have signed a strategic agreement for the joint development of disruptive technologies and differential solutions, as well as their industrial scaling, through hybrid and multidisciplinary work teams of both organizations. Under the collaboration agreement, Sener and Eurecat consolidate their alliance to promote innovative [...]
The first Eurecat Congress has underscored Catalonia’s opportunities for moving forward in reindustrialisation against the backdrop of today’s technological revolution by enhancing its competitiveness, growth and generation of wealth and social wellbeing through harnessing levers including adaptation to climate change, digital transformation and tapping artificial intelligence technologies. The congress hosted by the Eurecat technology [...]
The Eurecat technology centre and the companies Ocean Ecostructures and GPA SEABOTS have teamed up on the OASIS project which is designed to roll out nature-based solutions to address the environmental impact of port infrastructures and thus help turn ports into active players in biodiversity regeneration and the fight against climate change on coasts. The [...]
The Eurecat technology centre is a member of the European iClimaBuilt project consortium which is developing advanced energy technologies for insulation and energy harvesting and storage in buildings and new smart building materials which can adapt to a diversity of climates. It is showcasing all these breakthroughs at Smart City Expo 2023 in Barcelona this [...]
The Eurecat technology centre is coordinating the European VitiGEOSS project, which has developed an innovative platform for managing wine holdings that harnesses artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, Earth observation services and sensors in the field to generate forecasts and recommendations which help to promote sustainability and adaptation of vineyards to climate change. The [...]
David Mascort, the Minister for Climate Action, Food and Rural Agenda; Adam Tomàs, the Mayor of Amposta, and Francesc Santasusana, a member of Eurecat’s Board of Trustees and Executive Committee, today opened the new Seed Building at the Climate Resilience Centre (CRC) in Amposta. It is a purpose-built structure and a leader in Catalonia [...]
Barcelona today hosted the European Culture and Creativity Conference held as part of EIT Culture & Creativity, the new European innovation community to boost the competitiveness of the cultural and creative industries which has one of its six centres in the Catalan capital and from where it will connect with players in the ecosystem [...]
The Eurecat technology centre is leading three European projects with a total budget of €6.9 million which optimise a range of steel qualities to improve its properties and uses in the automotive, aeronautics and other sectors while seeking to reduce defects, manufacturing costs and carbon dioxide emissions during manufacture to further decarbonise industry. The initiatives [...]
