The Eurecat technology centre has carried out, in collaboration with the technology centre AZTI, a clinical study involving elder people that lays the groundwork for advancing towards precision nutrition for this population group. The aim is to help combat age-related problems such as the progressive loss of muscle mass, strength and function associated with [...]
The technology centre Eurecat and the textile innovation company Total Training Suit have developed an innovative sports outfit designed as a “second skin”, capable of increasing the intensity of functional training sessions by up to 30%. The prototype provides mechanical resistance to movement, allowing athletes to exert greater effort during physical activity. In addition, [...]
The technology centre Eurecat and CREAF have established a joint research and innovation unit to develop and transfer technological solutions to society and industry, aiming to accelerate the adaptation of Catalonia to the effects of climate change. The alliance between the two organizations seeks to ensure that Catalonia is prepared to face global warming [...]
The startup Ocean Ecostructures, with the support of the Eurecat technology centre, is pioneering the renaturalization of port seabeds through the development and monitoring of structures that mimic nature and replicate the functions of coastal ecosystems. These structures can generate entirely new ecosystems with between two to six times more species. This strategy, already [...]
In the context of climate emergency and increasing water scarcity, the DECIDEIX project, led by the technology centre Eurecat, has been launched to develop planning tools for the safe implementation of water reuse models. The project will validate the safety and feasibility of a pilot based on Direct Potable Reuse (DPR). This model involves [...]
Today, at an H2CAT network conference in Lleida, the Eurecat technology centre presented innovations in new aviation fuels made from used oils and gases produced by combining captured carbon dioxide and green hydrogen which are expected to help decarbonise the industry and mobility. Eurecat pointed out how these materials can be used as raw [...]
The Eurecat technology centre is contributing new technologies to six European consortia with a total budget of over €43 million to drive the transformation of urban mobility and logistics towards more circular, sustainable and digital models with the goal of advancing Europe’s green transition and achieving the climate neutrality target set by the European [...]
The Eurecat technology centre will anticipate, next September 17th, technological solutions for the production of synthetic biofuels for aviation at an event in Lleida organised by the H2CAT network, the Catalan renewable hydrogen network coordinated by Eurecat. The event, presented in a demo day format, will feature live demonstrations of innovation projects aimed at [...]
The Eurecat technology centre is leading a project which will convert biomass produced by forest management into regenerated cellulose fibres for the textile industry in line with the push for the bioeconomy. The initiative, which also involves the Forest Science and Technology Centre of Catalonia and the University of Lleida, seeks to add value [...]
The LAB-IIT conference focused on the application of digital twins in tourism, organized by the Eurecat technology centre and the Tourism Board of the Provincial Council of Tarragona, highlighted today in Reus the potential of this technology to transform and optimize the management of tourism companies and destinations towards a more sustainable and intelligent [...]
