RELATED PROJECTS
- 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.

- The Motion Control and Industrial Applications (MCIA) Research Group at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya - BarcelonaTech (UPC) is participating in the OPTIMA project, which aims to design and develop a high-efficiency, fully integrated bifacial photovoltaic system. This system is engineered for optimal performance and adaptability, particularly for installation on flat rooftops of buildings with high energy demands, such as commercial and industrial facilities.
