The REGADIA project, executed by ITER, ICIA and ULL in collaboration with the Cabildo de Tenerife, aims to generate a tool that contributes to the optimization of water resources in banana and avocado crops through the use of enabling technologies such as IoT, Big Data, remote sensing and AI. In the Canary Islands, the agricultural sector is one of the most important in the regional economy, but water scarcity and reduced rainfall in recent years has generated great concern in the region. The REGADIA project is working to generate a tool that contributes to the optimization of water resources in…

This new study, involving the Genomics Area of ITER, has been published in the prestigious scientific journal Nature, shedding light on the genetic architecture of COVID-19. Researchers from the Genomics Area of the Institute of Technology and Renewable Energies (ITER), under the authority of the Cabildo de Tenerife, have contributed to a study providing new insights into the genetic architecture of COVID-19, influencing its susceptibility and severity. This investigation was carried out within the framework of the international project COVID-19 Host Genetics Initiative, of which the SCOURGE consortium is a partner. This initiative involves institutions from Spain and Latin America…
This new study, in which ITER’s Genomics Area participates and which has been published by the prestigious scientific journal Nature, reveals significant advances in the genetic architecture of COVID-19. Research personnel from the Genomics Area of the Institute of Technology and Renewable Energies (ITER), dependent on the Island Council of Tenerife, have participated in a study that provides new knowledge on the genetic architecture of COVID-19 that influences its susceptibility and severity. This research has been developed within the framework of the international project COVID-19 Host Genetics Initiative(https://www.covid19hg.org/), of which the SCOURGE consortium is a partner(https://www.scourge-covid.org/), in which institutions from…
The research team of the Genomics Area has collaborated on three scientific papers presented at this scientific event, which brought together a large number of national and international experts. The research staff of the Genomics Area at the Institute of Technology and Renewable Energies (ITER) participated this year, for the first time, in the SEIMC2023 Congress, held in its XXVI edition from June 1 to 3, 2023, in Santiago de Compostela (Galicia). This scientific event, organized by the Spanish Society of Infectious Diseases and Clinical Microbiology, featured over a thousand scientific papers focused on various fields: viral infections, sepsis, antimicrobial…
The conference will be held at the Casa de la Cultura of the municipality and attendance will be free and open to the general public. The educational program is a commitment of the Volcanological Institute of the Canary Islands (INVOLCAN) to contribute to the reduction of volcanic risk in the Canary Islands. The educational program Canary Islands: a volcanic window on the Atlantic returns to the municipalities of the Canary Islands in classroom format in order to bring volcanoes and volcanic risk management to the Canary Islands society. This program organized by the Volcanological Institute of the Canary Islands (INVOLCAN),…
Research personnel from ITER’s photovoltaic department have participated in May and June in important international conferences, contributing to the exchange of knowledge and strengthening the presence of the MACLAB-PV project and the transfer of its R&D results in the scientific community. The researchers of the photovoltaic laboratory of ITER, Carlos G. Montesdeoca and Luis M. Ocaña, have been part of the International Conference “NanoGe International Conference on Perovskite Thin Film Photovoltaics and Perovskite Photonics and Optoelectronics (NIPHO23)”. The event, organized by the University of Chemistry of Pavia (Italy), the Catalan Institute of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (ICN2) (Spain) and the Institute…
The Instituto Tecnológico y de Energías Renovables (ITER) and the Universidad Politécnica de Valencia (UPV) have joined forces in the AEROTWIN project to create an innovative wind turbine pathology detection system based on the use of a digital twin and artificial intelligence techniques. AEROTWIN is one of the six projects for which ITER has obtained funding under the call for grants for public-private collaboration projects 2021 of the Ministry of Science and Innovation. This project focuses on the development of a comprehensive monitoring system for wind turbines that will allow the identification and diagnosis of defects in the main components…

At the Technological and Renewable Energy Institute (ITER), we collaborated with the Tenerife Island Council in organizing a series of sessions aimed at raising awareness among more than 30 boys and girls from 4th grade about the attractions offered by the fields of science and technology to awaken their curiosity in these disciplines of study. The activity is part of the program of actions promoted by the island corporation on the occasion of the celebration of International Girls in ICT Day on April 27th, with the objective of contributing to reducing the gender digital gap. Also involved in this event…
TeideHPC and AnagaGPU benefit from an expansion that increases capacity to 2.4 PB and improves energy efficiency, powering cutting-edge research in genomics, meteorology, artificial intelligence and more. The supercomputing department of the Instituto Tecnológico y de Energías Renovables (ITER), belonging to the Technology Area, has completed the installation and integration of an extension of the storage system available for the supercomputers of the center. Both TeideHPC and AnagaGPU will benefit from the expansion of the storage system by renewing their storage cabinets and increasing the total storage capacity from 1.3 to 2.4 PB (the equivalent of about 24,000 movies in…
