The projects 2D EDGE i OISensing, led by scientists of the ICN2 and the ICMAB-CSIC, have been awarded the first and second prize of the fourth edition of the Generating Ideas Programme, organised by the UAB Research Park.

En total son nueve los ganadores, seleccionados entre las más de 200 propuestas candidatas. Desarrollaran soluciones innovadoras en el campo de la eficiencia energética.

The Instituto de Microelectrónia de Barcelona participates in the WIDESENS project, aimed at the development of an innovative probe based on miniaturized electrochemical sensors for the feasible widespread evaluation of water quality in distribution networks.

The European project Sinergy is aimed at the development of devices to harvest energy from the environment, and to store it. Heat, bouncing or vibrations are a source of energy that can feed the intelligent sensors of the future.

The Instituto de Microelectrónica de Barcelona (IMB-CNM) takes part in Bepi-Colombo, the Europe's first mission to Mercury. The participation of the IMB-CNM, led by Philippe Godignon, a CSIC’s research professor, is focused on developing the protector diodes for the spacecraft’s solar panel. The team forms part of the LIA Wide Lab.

Iplusd Innova and the CSIC’s Artificial Intelligence Research Institute will develop an intelligent platform that will put together all relevant touristic information for people with reduced mobility and autonomy.

The CSIC’s Artificial Intelligence Research Institute collaborates with the start-up Enzyme Advising Consulting to develop the iKey Retail Performance software solution. iKey will assist companies to improve their sales processes.

An international consortium led by the CSIC will develop a mobile system based on microelectronic technologies. It will enable the detection of threats such as trafficking of illegal radioactive material or nuclear terrorism.
