The new artificial intelligence system capable of answering any question with natural language poses challenges for teaching methodology and evaluation. But the key to its good use is critical thinking, a core competence in university education.
Three are led by the CloudLab research group, coordinated by the researcher from the Department of Computer Engineering and Mathematics, Pedro García
The URV-IISPV researcher Òscar Yanes has taken part in this research, which aims to improve the response of these cancer cells to a treatment that is already used for other illnesses
Study shows how certain cancers neutralize T cells to subvert the immune system and help tumours grow
Chemistry has once again been ranked top in Spain and Food Science is in the top seven and still in the world’s top 100. A total of 54 subjects are analysed, grouped into five areas of knowledge
Teams of English and German scientists are using this open-code tool, the result of the European Cloudbutton project.
The programme seeks to motivate sixth-grade students to pursue scientific and technological studies, break down gender stereotypes and showcase women as role models, especially for girls
Researchers from the Department of Computer Engineering and Mathematics have developed a more accurate mathematical model to predict the impact of prophylactic measures on an infectious disease
Students are volunteering for the SustainComp project, a URV Solidària initiative, to collaborate with the Labdoo network and reduce the digital divide in education
The journal Nature Communications has published the results of this study led by Professor Àlex Arenas
A research team from the URV-IISPV-CIBERDEM Metabolomics Platform has patented a technique that paves the way to describing the whole human metabolome
The URV is offering new grants for students applying for full-time master’s degrees until 29 July
Using high-performance computation systems, a URV research team has simulated the flow of air produced by coughing and sneezing in unprecedented detail. The results give greater insight into the characteristics of the flow produced by breathing and the capacity of infectious aerosols to disperse in the environment and remain suspended, which spreads COVID-19 and other airborne diseases
This first educational proposal of its kind at postgraduate level in Catalonia comes at a turning point in the healthcare field when large amounts of biomedical data need processing
The Universitat Rovira i Virgili researchers are part of a European consortium formed by 10 European partners located in seven countries. MobiDataLab project, launched on February 1st, 2021, has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme
The nearly zero-energy buildings (nZEB) present a promising contribution to fulfil the EU sustainable future targets. However, the construction industry that leads the development of nZEB is facing challenges to guarantee its performance. One study led by researchers from the URV in cooperation with TNO has created a diagnostic tool that uses minimal monitoring data to assess and guarantee nZEB performance
The Learning and Research Resources Centre (CRAI) is only open for loans and the URV’s sporting activities have been postponed
He has been elected a fellow of the society together with over 100 researchers from 24 countries around the world
The new measure agreed by the Catalan universities will not affect research activity
The Nobel Prize in Physics 2020 has been to Roger Penrose “for the discovery that black hole formation is a robust prediction of the general theory of relativity” and to Reinhard Genzel and Andrea Ghez “for the discovery of a supermassive compact object at the centre of our galaxy”
