UPC

The UPC (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya) is a technical university based in Barcelona, Spain. Recent news highlights its involvement in innovative engineering and scientific projects. The university is newsworthy due to the unveiling of the 'Raig FNB,' an autonomous and sustainable sailboat designed and built by students from the Faculty of Nautical Studies of Barcelona (FNB) at UPC. This sailboat is intended to participate in the Micro Ruta de la Sal regatta. Additionally, researchers at the Escola Politècnica Superior d’Enginyeria de Manresa (also part of UPC) are exploring the use of educational robotics to address gender disparities in engineering through the 'Qui-Bot H2O' project, which integrates chemistry experiments and programming. These initiatives demonstrate UPC's commitment to practical, cutting-edge research and education, addressing both technological advancements and social issues.
