RELATED PROJECTS
- Researchers from the Concrete Sustainability and Smart Structures (C3S) research group, part of the Construction Engineering (EC) group at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya - BarcelonaTech (UPC), are leading the CIRC-BOOST project, which aims to promote sustainability, industrial competitiveness and greater resource efficiency in the European construction sector.
- A research team involving the Barcelona Innovative Transportation (BIT), inLab FIB, CARNET Barcelona – Future Mobility Research Hub (CER-AMA), and the Department of Computer Architecture (DAC) of the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya - BarcelonaTech (UPC) is driving the i-MovE project, which aims to incorporate multisectoral data to provide much more accurate and valuable information for the mobility sector. The project develops four use cases focused on both companies and mobility authorities, covering public and individual transport, using the UPCxels demonstrator.
- A multidisciplinary team of researchers from the Research Group in Smart and Sustainable Resources and Industries (RIIS), the Sustainable Mining Research Group (GREMS), and the Construction Materials and Roads (MATCAR) group at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya – BarcelonaTech (UPC) is leading the VALORFIN project. The aim is to develop a technological solution for the valorisation of the fine fraction of construction and demolition waste (CDW), transforming it into new low-CO₂-emission cementitious materials, while also reducing the presence of hazardous materials in this waste.
- The organisation CARBOPESCA, together with the research group Development Center of Remote Acquisition and Information Processing Systems (SARTI) and the Efficient and Robust Integrated Circuits and Systems (EFRICS) group, at the UPC, are leading the iPROPEZESPADA project, an initiative aimed at optimising the capture and management of swordfish fishing using artificial intelligence.
