Digital, Industry and Space

In the Strategic Area of “Digital, Industry and Space” we aim to gather and enhance research of excellence and innovation such as to promote the transformation of our society and economy through digital and space technologies, as well as the development of a low-carbon, circular and clean industry.

The areas of intervention are focused in the following topics:

  • Emergent and digital technologies
  • Advanced Materials
  • Artificial Intelligence and Robotics
  • Advanced Computation and Big Data
  • Circular industries
  • Space, including Earth Observation
