RELATED PROJECTS
- The Materials Interfaces and Colloid Engineering group (INTERCOLL) at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya - BarcelonaTech (UPC), in collaboration with the Life Cycle Thinking group at the University of the Basque Country (EHU), are taking part in the BIOCHOLESTEROID project to develop new bio-based smart materials with optical response for advanced applications.
- The research groups Structural and Materials Technology (ATEM) and the Construction Engineering (EC) at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya - BarcelonaTech (UPC) are working on the RE-STEEL project, which aims to develop an efficient methodology for assessing the rehabilitation of existing steel structures.
- The project is led by a team from the Rehabilitation and Architectural Restoration (REARQ) at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya - BarcelonaTech (UPC), in collaboration with the Interdisciplinary Group on Building Science and Technology (GICITED), also from UPC, and CONSTRAULA.
- Researchers at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya - BarcelonaTech (UPC) have developed a unique infrastructure serving the UPC, research centres and companies for the experimentation and validation of technologies and services using next-generation networks. This platform enables the validation of 5G solutions in real-world scenarios and leads research towards 6G, facilitating technology transfer to the market.
