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
The journal Nature Communications has published the results of this study led by Professor Àlex Arenas
Researchers from the URV and the Institute of Chemical Research of Catalonia (ICIQ) investigate on organic solar cells in order to understand their degradation mechanism and find strategies for longer durability and, thus, increase their commercial feasibility in a large-scale production
For two years he will be able to carry out with this technoloty as part of his research on new organic photovoltaic materials
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’s TecnATox research group has found high levels of these chemicals in indoor spaces in a study carried out in the province of Tarragona and has studied their effects on the health of adults and children
The CHILI consortium aims to comprehend current screening practices and challenges to define and implement new strategies, including the ELEVATE screening test, that meet the conditions of the local context and the preferences of the local women
More than 1,200 people took part in the 26 scientific workshops prepared by a hundred researchers from the University and the ICAC, ICIQ, IISPV and IPHES research institutes. The activity, coordinated once again by the URV, exceeded expectations in its return to a face-to-face format
URV research demonstrates the mechanism by which microplastics, when in contact with cell membranes, stretch and greatly reduce their mechanical stability
Marta Sales Pardo is the first woman from a Catalan and Spanish university to have been appointed as a fellow member by this scientific society.
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
The high level of research and the quality of its doctoral theses and the associated publications are the principal strengths recognised by the accreditation
Members of the Food, Innovation & Engineering (FoodIE) Research Group at the URV have analysed the properties of black soldier fly protein fractions to boost their use in the food industry. They have demonstrated that this insect protein is comparable to whey protein for sunflower oil emulsification, while it offers certain advantages for lemon oil encapsulation
Scientific experts from the Universitat Rovira i Virgili and the Institute of Chemical Research of Catalonia teach classes in this master’s course, which is imparted entirely in English
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
Experts in climatology from the Universitat Rovira i Virgili, the State Meteorology Agency and the University of Bonn (Germany) make headway in identifying the most reliable methods that help to correct these biases
The platform led by the URV presents its projects for the region’s energy transition to the Vice-President of the Catalan Government, who promises it the highest level of government support
Researchers from Universitat Rovira i Virgili and Institute of Materials Science of Barcelona have combined experimental data with algorithms and enable an unprecedent predicting capability of the performance of organic solar cells
