CIT UPC is participating in Science2Society, a European project whose aim is to study good practices in technology transfer between universities, companies and society. It also prepares materials for the involved parties to improve these processes.
Through seven practical cases, the real experiences of scientists and industry professionals are combined with theoretical frameworks, which will then be analysed to identify potential improvements through technologies such as design thinking, re-engineering of processes and change management. Finally, the results will be disseminated in order to achieve the maximum impact and make these good practices available in Europe to all the involved actors
The project, which will end in February 2019, has 18 partners, including large firms, such as FIAT, Atos and CA Technologies, and leading research institutions, such as KU Leuven, the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Aalto University and Fraunhofer.

- MobilitApp is an application capable of predicting the mode of transport used by citizens using a deep learning tool based on three mobile phone sensors.
- The aim of the Muvity project in which the Multimedia Applications and ICTs Laboratory (LAM) of the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya - BarcelonaTech (UPC) participates, is to develop a gamified physical telerehabilitation application for people with chronic injuries. The user carries out exercises and plays games designed with therapists that lead them to move their arms and legs and thus achieve the established goals.
- Researchers from the Advanced Broadband Communications Centre (CCABA) and the Optical Communications Group (GCO) of the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya - BarcelonaTech (UPC) participate in the B5G-OPEN (Beyond 5G – OPtical nEtwork coNtinuum) project. This project is funded by the European Union, in the framework of which a new end-to-end integrated packet-optical transport architecture based on multiband optical transmission and switching networks is being designed and prototyped.
- Autonomous vehicles are a reality that we are getting closer to gradually but inevitably. The Centre for Sensors, Instruments and Systems Development (CD6) of the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya - BarcelonaTech (UPC) has developed technologies for this type of vehicles that improve safety on journeys. To meet the needs of perceiving the environment at long range, a very complete set of sensors has to be developed, including cameras, LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) and radar.
