The visit was attended by parliamentarians women from the Canary Islands and from 8 African countries (Algeria, Gambia, Mali, Morocco, Mauritania, Senegal, Tunisia and Cape Verde), as well as by the soprano and activist for human rights,…
The awards ceremony, organized annually by the Spanish Association of Energy Management Agencies – EnerAgen, was held in Barcelona on 21 April. Coinciding with its 25th anniversary, ITER has been recognized the effort and dedication that lends itself to dissemination, education and social awareness on energy issues since its founding in 1990. The initiative “Launch, dissemination and dynamization of the multiplatform game ISLA 100%” has been awarded as the best performance in terms of awareness and dissemination of renewable energy and / or energy efficiency developed in 2015 throughout the national territory, award that has fallen for the first time…
The study deals with the application of evolutionary algorithms for solving a problem of frequency assignment in mobile networks. A collaboration recently established between the Centre for Algorithms, Visualisation, and Evolving Systems (CAVES) belonging to the School of Computing of Edinburgh Napier University, Edinburgh, UK, and the Technological Institute of Renewable Energies (ITER) located at Tenerife, Spain, has allowed a research work regarding the area of problem optimisation to be carried out. This collaboration has achieved its first milestone in the form of a scientific paper which will be presented at the prestigious 2016 IEEE World Congress on Computational Intelligence…
The fourth edition of First Lego League (FLL) Canary Islands will take place on February 20 in the Auditorium Infanta Leonor de los Cristianos, organized by the Cabildo de Tenerife, through the Parque Científico y Tecnológico de Tenerife (PCTT) and TF Innova programme, with the co-organization of the Ayuntamiento de Arona, ULL and its Fundación General and the Scientia Foundation. The Fist Lego League (FLL), is a tournament of regional scope, in which 43 teams have registered. 24 in the First Lego League (FLL) mode for 10-16 year olds, and 19 in the Junior First Lego League (FLL Jr.), aimed…
ITER collaborates in the celebration of the 2016 International Conference on Big Data from Space – BiDS’16, organized by the Cabildo Insular de Tenerife and the Parque Científico y Tecnológico (PCTT), with which the Cabildo attracts the space community and Big data to the Canary Islands, within its strategy TF Innova’s promotion of the culture of innovation technology transfer and scientific and technological dissemination. This conference will be held from 15th to the 17th of March 2016 in the Auditorium Adam Martin, sponsored by the Cabildo Insular de Tenerife. The Conference is jointly organized by the European Space Agency -…
Since its public release on 28 of November of 2014, that means less than a year online, IonGAP has been used for running 300 projects. Researchers from more than thirty institutions distributed in more than 15 countries have tested and used IonGAP platform in their studies. The results of those works have been published in scientific journals. The roadmap of IonGAP will include several improvements. As an example, the addition of digital normalisation is one of the first new capacities that will be implemented. This new option will do all the previous quality filtering, trimming, etc. that will prepare the…
SICELLAB (ITER’s Silicon Cell Laboratory) has completed the installation and commissioning of a Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (PECVD) device. With this equipment, the laboratory completes its capabilities for manufacturing solar cell prototypes, based on crystal silicon technologies, as well as to use this kind of technique in order to produce new materials. The model now in operation in the laboratory is a Vision 310 Mk II PECVD, a state of the art device made by the Swedish company Advanced Vacuum, which was engineered for research level and pilot production through an innovative and flexible plasma reactor, capable of using…
The Educational Project “¿Es posible una isla 100% renovable? will continue the dissemination work of the tools developed in the Isla Renovable project funded by FECYT in 2013 and therefore aims to show students the feasibility of implementing renewable technologies in an insular electric system taking into account the socio-economic and environmental features involved. Thanks to this initiative, supported by the Fundación CajaCanarias through its Call “Aid to Education Project 2015”, secondary and high school students, together with their teachers, will be able to join the educational activities organized by ITER, concerning the introduction to the app ISLA 100%, one…
A scientific publication gathers all the details about this multidisciplinary project where technicians and researchers of the Hospital La Candelaria, the ULL and ITER will cooperate. Researchers of the University Hospital Ntra. Sra. de Candelaria attached to the Ministry of Health of the Canary Government and to the University of La Laguna (ULL), in collaboration with ITER, have developed a web of public access which allows, among other things, to quickly assemble bacterial genomes. This collaboration project, called IonGAP, is possible thanks to ITER´s High Performance Computing Teide-HPC, now considered the second most powerful in Spain. IonGAP is a very…
