The EHIMI is a software tool consisting of a set of applications used for processing and displaying radar and hydrological data that are helpful for monitoring the intensity of rainfall at a particular time and location, and for decision-making in situations where there is a risk of surface or river flooding.
The EHIMI tool is aimed at generating corrected reflectivity products, such as Meteocat’s meteorological radar, useful for spatial and temporal description of rain fields, based on the information generated by the SMC’s Meteorological Radar Network (XRAD).
The update adapts the EHIMI to the evolution of the SMC’s Meteorological Radar Network (XRAD) and extends the functionalities of the system.

- The Technological Development Centre for Remote Acquisition and Data Processing Systems (SARTI) at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya - BarcelonaTech (UPC) participates in the SEASLAG project, which contributes to measurement and test systems to assess the characteristics of the biomaterials developed in the project, to regenerate marine ecosystems. This material incorporates byproducts from the metal and agrifood industries.
- The research group Barcelona Fluids & Energy Lab (IFLUIDS) and the Centre for Technological Innovation in Static Converters and Drives (CITCEA) of the UPC participate in the European project H-HOPE, which is focused on the development of solutions to produce clean energy based on water sources that have still not been exploited, such as pipes and water channels.
- Combining agricultural activity and the production of solar energy by means of photovoltaic panels is the aim of SYMBIOSYST, a project promoted by a consortium of 16 European partners including the UPC. As part of this project, technological tools will be developed to contribute to generating clean energy for the agricultural sector in Europe.
- The production of biogas through anaerobic digestion has been increasing exponentially in Europe in recent years. This is because it can be produced locally and has a clear positive effect on waste recycling, the generation of clean energy, sustainable development or climate action. In this context, the FertiLab project was launched, with the participation of researchers from the Department of Agri Food Engineering and Biotechnology (DEAB) of the UPC.
