RELATED PROJECTS
- City and Play is a social action project coordinated by researchers from the Centre for Image and Multimedia Technology (CITM) and the DiCode research group (Digital Culture and Creative Technologies Research Group) of the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya – BarcelonaTech (UPC), the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (UOC) and the University of Barcelona (UB), and funded by Barcelona City Council. The aim of the project is to promote civic competences and reflection on the urban environment among adolescents through the creation of an open framework that uses methodologies based on play, co-creation and storytelling.
- A research team from the UPC, in collaboration with the company B. Braun Surgical, has created a ceramic and biocompatible catalyst that captures greenhouse gases and transforms them into useful chemical products in a more sustainable way and at a lower cost than current technologies. The technology has successfully passed the pilot phase through joint projects with companies from different sectors.
- The Visualisation, Virtual Reality and Graphic Interaction Research Group (ViRVIG) at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya - BarcelonaTech (UPC) participates in the CLIPE project under the MSCA-ITN call, which has developed technologies to provide virtual characters in immersive VR/AR environments with natural behaviour and interaction between virtual characters, making them more human and realistic, with potential applications in industry, video games, training and simulation.
- As part of the DigiPatICS project, eight ICS hospitals have optimised breast cancer diagnosis thanks to artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms that automate the analysis of tissue samples, enabling earlier and more accurate detection of the disease. The results and diagnoses are shared in real time across the eight centres, thereby forming the largest pathology network in Europe.
