CETIM in Spain
SCIENCE AND INNOVATION MISSIONS
CDTI’s call for Science and Innovation Missions encourages cooperative research and public-private collaboration on socio-economic challenges facing developed societies.
In the last call (2024) the themes were:
- Safe driving adapted to new models of electromobility and autonomous vehicles.
- More efficient, sustainable and environmentally friendly buildings adapted to climate change.
- Development of a flexible, automated, safe and intelligent logistics environment.
- Development and strengthening of the Spanish integrated photonics ecosystem.
- Decontamination of ecosystems.
- Digital health: promoting the development of bio-health technologies based on digital systems.
- Sustainability and efficiency in air transport.
- Sustainability and efficiency in processing and packaging for a quality and safe food industry.
Some of our success cases in the Missions call are:
LION HD
Industrial research on strategic materials for energy-dense, cost-optimised lithium-ion batteries in sustainable electro mobility.
Consortium: Ferroglobe, Química del Nalón, Graphenea, RIMSA, ABCR Labs, Nanoker, Cuantum Medical, HI Iberia.
ARBÔRES
Integrally bio-based structural wood solutions promoting the use of the forest mass and the sustainable construction sector.
Consortium: Financiera Maderera, Cromogenia Units, Técnicas de Soft, Maderas Besteiro, Indutec Ingenieros, CETIM.
MINETHIC
Promotion of the recovery and valorization of strategic mineral resources for the ecological transition.
Consortium: Técnicas Reunidas, Torrecid, APRIA Systems, FCC Medio Ambiente, IDP, IMA.
Transmissions
Transmissions is an initiative of CDTI in collaboration with the State Research Agency, which coordinates funding for clusters of research and knowledge dissemination organisations and clusters of companies that jointly develop R&D actions to address various challenges.
In the last call (2024) the themes were as follows:
- Momentum of the development of a spanish industry: development of technologies to progress along the path to merge.
- Energy for the twenty-first century: impetus to the advanced fuels, sources of energy and bio-based synthetic fuels developed from the captured CO2.
- Momentum of the circular economy valorización- -singularmente recycling and in the field of renewable energies and energy storage.
- Momentum of IoT and edge computing insurance, as well as technologies causes cross-sectoral linked, to move towards the autonomous factory.
- Developments for the preservation and sustainable uses of coasts and oceans in a context of climate change, coexisting with traditional and emerging activities.
- Promote the genetic improvement both in plant varieties and animal species in aquaculture and to make them more sustainable, efficient and resilient to climate change.
- Momentum of immunological tools -vacunas-, innovative treatments and technologies, for the prevention and detection of the first signs of disease in animals, as well as their treatment, designed to maximize the health and welfare of animals.
- In advancing the investigation of infectious diseases and antimicrobial resistance, to count on ecosystems and health systems research prepared for diagnosticarlas, prevent and treat them.
One of our success stories at Transmissions is NanomatIA, where we are researching new nanomaterials driven by Artificial Intelligence and industrial biotechnology with a consortium formed by HI Iberia, Ferroglobe, Rimsa, ENSO, CETIM, Leitat, Lurederra, Universidade da Coruña.
R3POWER
Circularity in the repowering of wind farms through reuse, recycling, eco-design and development of new recyclable and repairable materials.
Consortium: Norvento, Renercycle, Temha, Girawind, Acteco, Hi-Iberia, Aeroblade, Aerox, CETIM, Universidad de Valladolid, AIMEN, y CIEMAT.
RECOBATs
Development of a comprehensive strategy for battery recycling
Consortium: ECOINTEGRAL, Apria Systems, BeeCYCLE, DGH, Envirobat, FCC Ámbito, Recyclia, CETIM, AIMEN, Centro Ibérico de Investigación en Almacenamiento de Energía CIIAE y CSIC-CENIM.
PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP PROJECTS
The aim of this call for proposals for public-private collaboration projects is to support experimental development initiatives in cooperation between companies and research organisations, in order to promote the development of new technologies, the business application of new technical ideas and to contribute to the creation of new products and services.
