THIRD QUARTER 2024
New proposals for European Projects on technological innovation that contribute to the fullfilment of the SDGs
The ODS ACCIÓ Foundation has participated as a partner in the presentation of two European projects, in collaboration with universities, technology centres and organisations with expertise in innovative technologies, which contribute to the protection and conservation of the environment and natural resources.
The first project will develop an innovative sustainable technology to remove microplastics from wastewater and assess their potential as a renewable energy source. The priority of this project is to provide a solution that will make it possible to reduce the pollution footprint of our marine ecosystems with the increasing presence of microplastics and the high magnitude effect it is having on people, animals and the environment.
In order to improve the efficiency of EU port services, the second project will provide advanced ICT tools in an intelligent ecosystem for next-generation European freight and passenger transport systems in Europe. The main purpose of this challenge is to develop an advanced automated mobility system for clean and efficient transport, which optimizes port management towards the reduction of energy consumption and the promotion of renewable energies.
The Foundation’s main mission is to contribute to the achievement of the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and it is firmly committed to providing innovative solutions that help meet the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), as on this occasion, through the promotion of these two research and technological innovation projects, aimed at boosting efficient and sustainable progress at the European level.
This activity contributes to the achievement of the following SDGs:
