Members of the European Projects Office of CIT UPC attended the HybridNeuro Neural Bridges Final Workshop, held from 9 to 12 December 2025 at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, University of Maribor. CIT UPC took part in the event as a partner in the HybridNeuro and EU.FFICIENT European projects.
The workshop brought together partners from leading European institutions to reflect on the outcomes of the HybridNeuro Horizon Europe twinning initiative and to discuss future directions in the fields of neural interfaces, rehabilitation technologies, and the convergence of natural and artificial intelligence.
During the academic programme, Silvia Chellini, Business Development at CIT UPC, delivered a presentation focused on case studies and emerging trends in artificial intelligence applied to the healthcare sector, highlighting how AI-driven solutions are shaping innovation in clinical and rehabilitation contexts.
In parallel, Juan Pérez Rodríguez, European Projects Manager at CIT UPC, led a Masterclass on European funding frameworks, providing an overview of Horizon Europe and outlining forthcoming funding opportunities in AI, neuroscience and healthcare. His intervention offered valuable guidance on how research and innovation initiatives can be translated into future European projects.
The event served as a valuable forum for knowledge exchange among academic and research partners, including the University of Maribor (host), Imperial College London, Chalmers University of Technology, and the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya - BarcelonaTech (UPC), strengthening collaboration within the HybridNeuro consortium.
The HybridNeuro project will continue through the HybridNeuroHub, an EU-wide initiative aimed at connecting researchers, industry and end users committed to advancing innovation in the fields of the human motor system and human behaviour. More details about the project and the event are available via the HybridNeuroHub website.

It is especially aimed at the first and second cycles of secondary education and was created to bring heritage into the classroom. Its goal is to bring the history and monuments of Catalonia closer in a vivid and innovative way, using tools such as virtual reality and new museographic narratives.
- City and Play is a social action project coordinated by researchers from the Centre for Image and Multimedia Technology (CITM) and the DiCode research group (Digital Culture and Creative Technologies Research Group) of the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya – BarcelonaTech (UPC), the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (UOC) and the University of Barcelona (UB), and funded by Barcelona City Council. The aim of the project is to promote civic competences and reflection on the urban environment among adolescents through the creation of an open framework that uses methodologies based on play, co-creation and storytelling.
