La Salle-URL has launched a strategic collaboration with Divulcat, Catalonia’s leading scientific outreach platform promoted by Enciclopèdia Catalana. Through this partnership, the campus is launching two dedicated channels to showcase the applied research projects of its two groups: Smart Society and Human Environment Research (HER).
Both groups are recognised by AGAUR and hold the TECNIO accreditation, which certifies the quality of their technology transfer to the business sector. Being present on Divulcat allows La Salle-URL to join an ecosystem where researchers from leading universities and institutions share knowledge in fields such as technology, physics, mathematics and psychology, among others.
The first articles are already available:
- Provost and Director of Research and Innovation, Rosa Ma. Alsina, publishes the article Barcelona in listening mode: what do superblocks tell us when we listen to them? on the HER group’s channel.
- Researcher, professor and Founder of Ignion, Jaume Anguera, publishes the three-part article From electromagnetic waves to virtual antennas on the Smart Society channel.
Research specialisation at La Salle-URL
Research activity at La Salle-URL focuses on applied research and the transfer of knowledge and technology to society and the business sector, with the aim of addressing social, economic and technological challenges in Barcelona, Catalonia and internationally.
- Human Environment Research (HER): studies the relationship between people and the environments they inhabit, integrating scientific, technological, artistic and social knowledge. Its research combines environmental acoustics, artificial intelligence, behavioural analysis, architecture and spatial representation, technology-enhanced education and digital arts.
- Smart Society: develops applied research in the fields of smart cities, urban sustainability and service digitalisation, integrating technologies such as artificial intelligence, distributed computing and data science.
