Activities between Europe and Latin American countries to strengthen research, training potential and industrial competitiveness as facilitators of the implementation of nano materials and advanced materials technologies in the health, water and energy areas in Latin America. NMP-DeLA project develops activities to build new skills that facilitate local knowledge; to foster synergies and cooperative programmes with local and regional lawmakers; and to create the EUROPEAN UNION-LATIN AMERICAN Nanocluster. During the project, 4 workshops and 2 summer school programmes were held  (in Argentina, Mexico, Brazil and Chile); the programme has taken part in the most important European sector [...]

The ICARUS project develops an unmanned search and rescue technologies for detecting, locating and rescuing humans. The objective of the team of robots is primarily gathering data. In major crisis, a primary task of fire and rescue services is the search for survivors at the site of the incident. This is a complex and dangerous task, which frequently, causes deaths among the managers of the humanitarian crisis. The introduction of unmanned rescue and search devices can speed up rescue and become a valuable tool to save human lives. The Autonomous Systems group at Eurecat was the [...]

DEPHOTEX project aims to obtain organic photovoltaic (OPV) fabrics. They conserve the properties inherent to the textile, which enable the production of new low-cost textile products. The future challenge will entail getting the fabric itself to capture solar energy. This would mean producing fabrics that can generate clean, renewable, portable and autonomous energy, thanks to their exposure to the sun Control panels for the interiors of cars, pillows, curtains and jackets are a few of the items on display at the end of the project at several European events. Photovoltaic fabrics present great potential in extensive [...]

Assistance technologies related to the Brain Computer Interfaces (BCI) to improve physical and social autonomy, as well as the quality of life of people suffering disabilities. BackHome project develops a solution that allows to cover the needs of these people and offer inclusion services and teleassistance to those who need it. BackHome has achieved 5 key innovations, advancing the current state of the art: (i) a modular and distributed architecture; (ii) a new BCI system with practical electrodes that aim to set a new standard of lightness, autonomy, comfort and reliability; (iii) user-friendly software tailored to [...]
