RELATED PROJECTS
- The UPC coordinates the BCNMob project, focused on the use of smart glasses with 5G technology and extended reality to increase the autonomy of visually impaired people. Biel Glasses and the Punt de Vista Foundation are also participating in the project.
- UPC, the Port of Barcelona and Siport21 will create an innovative operational traffic management system based on artificial intelligence and machine learning. This will be developed within the Compass+ project, which has been recognised as a pre-commercial project in the second call of the innovation fund managed by Ports of the State − Ports 4.0. The aim of the fund is to enhance efficiency and safety in port operations by integrating disruptive technologies that will drive the ports of the future.
- The EU.FFICIENT (European Communities of Facilitators focused on Co-creation training, Networking and Hands-on learning) project, launched in January 2024, aspires to transform and enhance the co-creation landscape across Europe. Funded under the EU framework, the project brings together a consortium of 16 partners from 12 countries, boasting a diverse blend of academic, industrial and public sector partners. The initiative, with CIT UPC standing as a one of key participants, represents an investment in the future of collaborative innovation.
- The Heat and Mass Transfer Technology Center (CTTC) at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya - BarcelonaTech (UPC) participated in the Economic COgeneration by Efficiently COncentrated SUNlight (ECOSUN) project to develop a low-cost, concentrated thermal and photovoltaic cogeneration system that increases the system’s electrical efficiency.
