May 9, 2022Sustainable solutions for the transformation challenges of the sector
The UPC Technology Center (CIT UPC) and CIM UPC organizes on Tuesday, April 26, from 9:45 a.m. to 1 p.m., the conference Advanced materials for construction. During the morning, sustainable solutions for the transformation challenges of this sector will be discussed.
Construction is evolving towards new building technologies and new materials, both to comply with regulatory directives and to increase its competitiveness in the market.
In this sense, it is necessary to coordinate global solutions that take into account the available options for a more sustainable building, with less impact on the environment and that, in a real way, allows the progress towards circular economy.
#SaveTheDate for the Advanced materials for construction conference
Xavier Roca, director of The School of Industrial, Aerospace and Audiovisual Engineering of Terrassa (ESEIAAT UPC), will be in charge of welcoming the event. Next, six projects will be presented with a focus on:
- 3D printing technology applied to construction
- The use of recycled materials for concrete's functionalization
- The use of recycled raw material for the manufacture of cement

- Neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's, and age-related disorders, have been widely studied due to their significant impact on individuals and society. So far, these are incurable and debilitating diseases that lead to progressive degeneration and death of nerve cells, resulting in cognitive and mobility impairments. Tremors, mainly at rest, slowness of movement (bradykinesia), limb rigidity, and issues with gait and balance are typical motor disorders related to Parkinson’s disease. Additionally, due to progressive muscle atrophy, these issues can lead to falls, which in turn result in further complications and risks to quality of life.
