RELATED PROJECTS
- El Centre de Desenvolupament, Instrumentació i Sensors (CD6) de la UPC participa en la construcció de l’Extremely Large Telescope (ELT), impulsat per l’European Southern Observatory (ESO). L'ELT serà el telescopi terrestre òptic i infraroig proper més gran del món.
- Investigadores del Grup Interdisciplinar de Ciència i Tecnologia a l'Edificació (GICITED) de la UPC participen en el projecte Estructuració d'un sector transfronterer de valorització de tiges de blat de moro i gira-sol per a la construcció (SAVASCO).
- To address the need to optimize the resources available in wireless networks TELCO4IOT project has emerged, led by the Research Group on Cellular Communications Networks (GRXCA) of the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC).
- The project involves the participation of the Center for Innovation in Electronics, Motion Control and Industrial Applications (MCIA) of the UPC. The main aim is to construct a digital twin to monitor, visualise and manage the state of maintenance of hospital equipment.
