RELATED PROJECTS
- The Remote Sensing Acquisition Systems Development Centre (SARTI UPC) has developed a new model of buoys to record ocean currents and temperatures as part of the European project Multi-Sensor Extra Light Oceanography Apparatus (MELOA). This is a DRIFTER, or a low-cost, low-power surface drifting buoy, which is easy to use, impact-resistant, multi-purpose, multi-sensorial, and very lightweight. It is designed to be used in all aquatic environments, from the deep sea to inland waters, including coastal areas, river plumes, and wave-breaking zones.
- A group of researchers from the Nautical Faculty of Barcelona (FNB) of the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya – BarcelonaTech (UPC) is developing a system based on machine learning technologies to improve the energy efficiency and reduce the fuel consumption of ships from the NGO Open Arms. This project, called FNB-Open Arms, is the first case of technology transfer from the Fractus-UPC Deep Tech Hub, a collaboration initiative between the company Fractus and the UPC, that aims to promote innovation in deep technologies.

- Barcelona is characterised by a high consumption of bottled water (55% of the population drinks it regularly). The reasons for this behaviour tend to be dissatisfaction with the organoleptic characteristics, perceived health risks and distrust of the quality of tap water.
