By launching an International Call for Green Shipping Innovation, the project [...]

The DIPTA 2023 project develops a knowledge transfer system to promote innovation in tourism brands in the province of Tarragona. DIPTA 2023 is divided into four different lines of work: observatory, laboratory of innovation and tourism intelligence (LABIIT), technology and transfer. Eurecat participates in DIPTA 2023 through its Consultancy Department, contributing its know-how in data intelligence, implementation of digital solutions, development and strategic planning, product design and in the generation of new knowledge, as well as promoting collective reflection on current tourist trends and dynamics. Develop and maintenance of the trip & kids tool, a technological [...]

Privacy-compliant health data as a service for artificial intelligence (AI) development. The PHASE IV AI project advances the current state of data synthesis methods towards a more generalized approach to synthetic health data generation. The initiative develops metrics for testing and validation, as well as protocols that allow the generation of synthetic data without access to real-world data through multi-party computation. The objectives of PHASE IV AI are: Provide improved methods and technical pipelines for the synthesis of privacy-preserving data, including different data formats such as electronic health records (EHRs) and medical images. Provide easy-to-use and [...]

NewAIMS in brief Conceptualization, study and demonstration of strategies to obtain cost-effective high-performance steel in metal 3D printing processes ABOUT THE PROJECT Additive Manufacturing (AM), and 3D Printing in particular, offer attractive possibilities for design optimization and production of limited series of components. These aspects fit perfectly some industrial and economical sectors: a clear match is that of hot forming tools. Tooling for hot stamping, die casting, plastic injection moulding benefit enormously from free-form refrigeration channels, that cannot currently be obtained by conventional (substractive) [...]

Optimizing the charging process for electric vehicles, from power generation to end-user experience. The XL-Connect project creates an accessible and on-demand charging solution based on an optimized charging network, taking into account human behaviour, technical aspects and economic aspects. By 2030, the European Union is expected to have between 30 and 40 million battery electric vehicles on the road. This increase poses challenges and opportunities for the energy system by testing system capacity, but also presents the possibility of using V2G, V2H and V2X technologies, as parked electric vehicles can function as energy storage. The objectives [...]

Reversal and prevention of obesity in the most vulnerable populations. The PAS-GRAS project addresses the main determinants that contribute to the transgenerational risk of obesity in the most vulnerable populations, including children in the prepubertal stage, adolescents and young adults, in order to reverse and prevent obesity and avoid the emergence of related comorbidities. To do this, PAS-GRAS determines lifestyle habits (diet, physical activity/sedentary activity) and other factors such as mental health, socio-familial and environmental factors, and genetic and metabolic characteristics. The integration of all this data will make possible to assess the risk on an [...]

Multi-layer data platform for the management and anticipation of odour episodes in port environments through the concept of citizen science. The NASAPP project develops a SaaS (Software as a Service) platform of multilayer data that allows monitoring odours in real-time through the concept of citizen science, adding to the current tools of pollutant dispersion models and sensors, the concept of citizen science to measure the concentration of odour nuisance and its dispersion in the territory. The NASAPP app provides citizens with a tool that allows them to register odour nuisance incidents. These individual records make up [...]

Prototype for the monitoring and control of exotic species. The EXOVIEWER project develops a station prototype that detects invasive exotic species from abroad. EXOVIEWER integrates multi-capture insect traps in a single device (prototype in trailer format) to obtain photographs of the capture sheets, from cameras, and send them for identification and subsequent classification. The monitoring of the insects will serve to have an almost real-time control, through the cameras and physical captures in the sheets, of the evolution of each species and to be able to take the pertinent preventive measures that will improve the competitiveness [...]
