RELATED PROJECTS
- The Structural and Materials Technology (ATEM) research group at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya - BarcelonaTech (UPC) is participating, in collaboration with the Universitat de les Illes Balears (UIB), in the ReINfoRCed project, which aims to promote the extension of the service life of reinforced concrete structures affected by corrosion.
- Researchers from the UPC are participating in the Quartz Enrichment Enabling Near-Zero Silicon (QUEEN) project, aimed at reducing the European Union’s dependence on external sources for critical raw materials, particularly metallurgical-grade silicon (MG-Si). To achieve this, the project proposes harnessing an underused resource: quartz sand from European quarries, to produce MG-Si locally, sustainably, and efficiently.
- A team from the Bioinspired Oral Biomaterials and Interfaces (BOBI) research group at the Department of Materials Science and Engineering (CEM) of the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya - BarcelonaTech (UPC) is taking part in the European project HYDROHEAL, which explores how to transform bone fracture treatment using smart and advanced biomaterials, aiming to reduce the risk of infection and implant rejection, as well as shortening fracture recovery times.
- A multidisciplinary team of researchers from the Research Group in Smart and Sustainable Resources and Industries (RIIS), the Sustainable Mining Research Group (GREMS), and the Construction Materials and Roads (MATCAR) group at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya – BarcelonaTech (UPC) is leading the VALORFIN project. The aim is to develop a technological solution for the valorisation of the fine fraction of construction and demolition waste (CDW), transforming it into new low-CO₂-emission cementitious materials, while also reducing the presence of hazardous materials in this waste.
