According to a study by the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (UOC), the Eurecat technology centre and the Autonomous University of Madrid, published as open access in PLoS ONE, students worked more continuously during the pandemic, which led to an improvement in their results. The data analysis conducted over five academic years shows that continuous [...]
Starting today at Expoquimia, the Eurecat technology centre is showcasing new solutions in industrial scaling to meet society’s challenges in industrial decarbonisation, hydrogen and the circularity of plastic materials. They harness sustainable technologies which make it possible to manufacture new products and help companies in their transition towards green chemistry and the circular economy. [...]
As part of its mission to help unlock sustainable mobility, BATTECH, a project led by the Catalonia Institute for Energy Research (IREC) and the Eurecat technology centre, took part in The Battery Show Europe. The event, held last week at Messe Stuttgart in Germany, is the leading battery trade fair in Europe and provided [...]
The Eurecat Reus technology centre is a pioneer in research into the benefits of ingredients, foods and dietary habits for people’s health through the nutritional intervention and precision nutrition studies it conducts with volunteers. These projects contribute to research while also allowing the volunteers to gain skills for managing their diet and healthy habits. [...]
The team made up of researchers from the Eurecat, AINIA (Valencia Region), CTAG (Galicia), CTAEX (Extremadura), AIN (Navarra) and CARTIF (Castilla y León) technology centres received a special mention in the Challenge set by Enagás at Meetech Spain 2023 for their idea based on printing smart graphene sensors on adhesive tape which would be [...]
Today at the Blockchain for Catalonia (BxCat) fair, the Eurecat technology centre has presented the opportunities blockchain technology and virtual assets, i.e. NFTs, bring to companies to create new business models and generate new services or products. This has included success stories in multi-sector projects such as developing a platform for digital sports trophies [...]
The Eurecat technology centre is developing new organic, flexible and semi-transparent photovoltaic modules using printed electronics with materials specifically selected to ensure complementary light absorption for plant growth. This paves the way for a revolution in agrivoltaics by unlocking synergies between agricultural and energy production. Rolled out as part of the European SYNATRA project, [...]
A new smart predictive maintenance system for street lighting systems will enable integration of multiple data sources and their real-time processing by tapping artificial intelligence algorithms to help generate predictive recommendations, identify abnormalities, anticipate faults and prescribe maintenance tasks. The platform, which has been developed as part of the Predalin project led by Sociedad [...]
This week at JEC World, the preeminent composites event taking place in Paris, the Eurecat technology centre is showcasing an aircraft window which includes LED lights embedded during the manufacturing process using compositronics, a technology which makes it possible to develop functional lightweight structural components with composite materials. “The lightness of composites and printed electronics [...]
The European Flexcrash project, funded with €4 million by the European Union under its Horizon Europe programme, is to develop flexible and hybrid manufacturing technology using high-strength green aluminium alloys to produce adaptive crash-tolerant vehicle structures. The project addresses the main challenges facing the automotive industry including compliance with greenhouse gas emission regulations and [...]
