The five projects focus on improving the lifestyle of the young elderly, overcoming social exclusion through education, creating polymers that help reduce waste production, studying the consequences of femicides on the victims’ sons and daughters and designing a nutritional support programme for people with dementia
The research team has validated a non-invasive experimental method that can be used to study how variations in anatomical systems affect their behaviour
Stanford University has updated its list of leading researchers with data from the year 2022. The URV ranks third in Spain and Catalonia in terms of the percentage of researchers among the permanent teaching and research staff
They have received the second National Graduation Award in Psychology and Mechanical Engineering, respectively
The first edition of the inter-university master’s degree in an emerging sector with a high demand for professionals has concluded
The research project of the Chemical Engineering Department of the Universitat Rovira i Virgili should help reduce the accumulation of plastics in the environment
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
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
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
