Use of technological and digital tools to study and manage tourism in the city of Barcelona in a sustainable and responsible manner The TIC Turisme 2026 project examines tourism in Barcelona from various angles (visitor types and origins, mobility flows, length of stay, etc.) with the aim of improving management and relieving congestion in the city's most strained areas. To achieve this, the project carries out three main activities: the statistical measurement of accommodation occupancy in the city, studies on visitor flow management in Barcelona, and the TurisTIC Forum project. Together, this combination of activities provides [...]

The Tourist Data System (TDS) project that has the objective of managing an interactive and easy to use digital platform capable of providing the public sector and private companies with a great volume of trustworthy data and in this way, allow them to grasp in the present tourism conjunction, as well as its historical evolution. With this information, it is desired to facilitate the decision-making process and enhance the adaptation to current and future challenges in a key sector for the Catalan economy. To accomplish this, the TDS hervests tourism information from different sources and analyses [...]

HySPRINT aims to advance clean hydrogen technologies by improving how the components of Solid Oxide Electrolysis Cells (SOECs) are manufactured. The project makes these production processes more sustainable, cost-effective, scalable, and recyclable, while reducing waste and scrap rates. By combining innovative manufacturing techniques with automation, artificial intelligence, and advanced quality-control tools, HySPRINT improves the production and scalability of SOEC components for clean hydrogen applications. The HySPRINT consortium brings together industrial partners, research organisations, and innovation-support actors from four European countries. The project is led by RINA Consulting S.p.A. The project combines three advanced production techniques: (1) [...]

Open Data for Sport Governance 2.0 (OD4SG 2.0) is a European initiative aimed at strengthening governance in the sports sector through the strategic use of open data. The new version of the platform has been designed and developed by the Digital Health Unit at Eurecat, which is responsible for project management, methodoloical design, and technological implementation. Through structured data collection forms, the project gathers relevant information on sport governance, which is then analyzed and transformed into indicators and actionable insights to support evidence-based decision-making. OD4SG 2.0 promotes transparency, accountability, and integrity across sports organizations, contributing to more [...]

The TECSOL-FRUT project develops an innovative agri-voltaic solution based on the design of an agricultural field with integrated rigid photovoltaic assisted by a digital twin. The aim is to analyze, implement and validate this technology as a tool to adapt agriculture to the effects of climate change, which is altering the natural cycles of crops, advancing flowering and increasing exposure to extreme phenomena such as heat waves, droughts, intense radiation, heavy rains or late frosts. Agrivoltaic systems allow to combine agricultural production with the generation of renewable energy, providing shade to crops, reducing thermal and water [...]

The project develops an integrated solution to support tourism accommodation establishments in their transition towards more sustainable management models through the combination of digital self-assessment tools, mentoring methodologies and intelligent -support and recommendation systems for the implementation of improvement initiatives related with sustainability. The solution enables businesses to assess their sustainability maturity level in line with the main international standards in the sector, identify areas for improvement and receive tailored recommendations aimed at facilitating the implementation of sustainable practices across environmental, social and economic dimensions. In addition, it incorporates artificial intelligence-based functionalities that help interpret assessment [...]

Tracking and reducing persistent and emerging pollutants in water for safer food and drink systems. The EmerGO project is developing an innovative, integrated European platform to identify, monitor, prevent and reduce persistent and emerging pollutants (PEPs) found in the water used by the food and drink industry, particularly water from industrial cleaning operations. EmerGO combines real-time monitoring and smart sensors with advanced water treatment technologies, such as advanced oxidation, hybrid membranes, adsorption and recovery systems, to reduce pollutants at source. The solutions will be validated at industrial pilot plants in the meat, fruit juice and confectionery [...]

Automating regulatory compliance for data and artificial intelligence in companies ACCOMPLISH prepares companies to face growing regulatory scrutiny through the automation, simplification and integration of regulatory compliance into data and artificial intelligence (AI) operations.

A key innovation is the Compliance Digital Passport, a new tool for real-time compliance assessment, certification and risk detection, which will enable organisations to navigate regulatory landscapes with confidence. The project's innovations will be validated through real-world applications in [...]

Development of an accelerated fatigue testing methodology and a digital platform for material selection and structural component design. The FAST-F project addresses a key limitation in the development of mechanical components: the need for reliable fatigue data obtained through conventional testing methods, which require a large number of specimens and testing times that can extend over months or even years. To overcome this limitation, the project develops and validates a novel procedure known as the stiffness method, capable of determining the fatigue behaviour of materials using only three specimens and requiring approximately one day per testing [...]
