The Eurecat technology centre is taking part in the RECIPLAC project, supporting the social integration company Andròmines and the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya – BarcelonaTech (UPC) in developing a new advanced computer recycling process which will make it possible to recover critical and high-value metals such as palladium, copper and neodymium magnets. The project [...]
The Eurecat technology centre, in partnership with the Open Source Robotics Foundation and PAL Robotics, is hosting the ROSCon Spain 2025 conference, an event that will gather Robot Operating System (ROS) developers for the first time in Barcelona so they can learn and work together to create robotics applications. The applications of Robot Operating [...]
The Eurecat technology centre has demonstrated the photoprotective and anti-inflammatory potential of polyphenol-rich extracts from agricultural by-products such as chicory leaves, red onion skins, vine prunings and olive prunings, proving their effectiveness in three-dimensional in vitro models equivalent to human skin exposed to UV-B radiation in a paper recently published in the Journal of [...]
This October, Barcelona will host a new edition of the AI Congress, bringing together more than fifty expert voices to address the impact, latest trends and new success stories from pioneering companies applying artificial intelligence, in a wide program that will also cover key issues such as the sovereignty and sustainability of this technology. [...]
The Eurecat technology centre, in conjunction with other European institutions and universities, has conducted a study on the effects of climate change, particularly rising sea levels, on the disappearance of wetlands on the Mediterranean coast. The study points to the need to take action to prevent these formations from vanishing before the end of [...]
The Eurecat technology centre, in conjunction with Catalan SME Doole Health, has developed an advanced telerehabilitation platform called Rehabilify which enables patients to continue their treatment at home while keeping in touch with medical teams and ensuring personalised, effective and continuous monitoring. The platform, which has been backed by the Germans Trias i Pujol [...]
The Eurecat technology centre and Lenium, a company specialising in developing and financing turnkey industrial projects, renewable energies and R&D and innovation initiatives, are to develop energy self-sufficient greenhouses by fitting organic photovoltaic panels which enable both power generation and plant growth. The project involves embedding semi-transparent printed organic cells which “use light synergistically, [...]
The Eurecat technology centre has rolled out more than 500 artificial intelligence projects with large corporations and small and medium-sized enterprises over the last 10 years which have helped to drive the digital transformation of the business sector, ranging from optimising and improving industrial processes and product customisation to services in cybersecurity, risk prediction, [...]
With the support of the Eurecat technology centre, ControlCat has embedded advanced artificial intelligence processes into a new software platform called IdenTools which allows real-time traffic characterisation, pattern detection, mobility flow prediction and generating smart alerts which can be implemented to optimise public safety and urban efficiency. This technological solution has also led to [...]
The Eurecat technology centre has built a digital platform to help train healthcare professionals which has 19 modules and three specialised courses to foster the use of innovative tech in key healthcare areas by blending social, technical and digital skills. These training modules have been developed as part of the European e-Hospital4Future (eH4F) project [...]
