August 19, 2022The Waste Management Consortium of Vallès Oriental has signed an agreement with the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya · BarcelonaTech (UPC) to promote collaboration in the academic, professional and research area.
The agreement has a duration of four years, which can be extended by successive equal periods (up to a maximum of 8 years). The established objectives involve jointly developing and executing research projects in areas of common interest for both institutions. This collaboration will focus mainly on research, technology development and innovation projects, and industrial doctorates. The search for partners will be promoted to create consortiums that can host the undertaking of research, development and innovation projects and find ways and sources of funding.
This agreement will also promote the organisation of common activities, cooperation in training programmes for research and technical staff from within or outside the Consortium, the organisation of activities in training programmes for bachelor’s, master’s and postgraduate degree students from the university, and the undertaking of master’s degree and bachelor’s degree placements in the Consortium’s facilities.
This agreement, which represents a further step in the collaboration that already exists between these entities, will promote the organisation of joint activities and stimulate the exchange of knowledge and initiatives.

- A team of researchers led by the FLUMEN Research Institute at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya - BarcelonaTech (UPC) has participated in the European ICARIA project. Its aim is to develop tools and risk maps that enable public authorities and infrastructure managers to anticipate the impacts of extreme climate events and make adaptation decisions on a more robust technical basis.
- A research team from the Institut de Robòtica i Informàtica Industrial (IRI, CSIC-UPC), together with the Centre de Disseny d'Equips Industrials (CDEI) of the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya - BarcelonaTech (UPC), are participating in the national CASANDRA project to develop a digital manufacturing solution that will make it possible to establish a bidirectional data flow for continuous digital integration throughout the supply chain across the product life cycle. This integration will be achieved through digital twins and data-based models that are continuously updated thanks to distributed monitoring and control tools.
- The Materials Interfaces and Colloid Engineering group (INTERCOLL) at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya - BarcelonaTech (UPC), in collaboration with the Life Cycle Thinking group at the University of the Basque Country (EHU), are taking part in the BIOCHOLESTEROID project to develop new bio-based smart materials with optical response for advanced applications.
