The project has a partial financing of 7.5 million euros and an estimated duration of 42 months. A team of experts from Canalink, a company dependent on the Cabildo of Tenerife through the Technological Institute of Renewable Energies (ITER), has travelled to the Moroccan port of Tarfaya to identify the best mooring point for a future submarine telecommunications cable. During the visit, an analysis of the terrain was carried out to determine factors such as topography, morphology and sedimentology, as well as to detect possible obstacles due to the proximity to present and future terrestrial infrastructures. With all this information,…
The Greenland initiative is channeled through the Instituto Tecnológico de Energías Renovables and also aims to improve energy efficiency. The action is part of the research and innovation projects developed by the Island Corporation with UTE Nivaria. The Cabildo de Tenerife has launched the Greenland project with the aim of promoting innovation in renewable energies with a pioneering photovoltaic system to cover the discharge cells in the Environmental Complex of Tenerife. The initiative is led by the Cabildo through the Instituto Tecnológico de Energías Renovables (ITER) and is part of the projects approved by the steering committee of the Island…
These transnational initiatives, coordinated by the Government of the Canary Islands and co-financed by the Interreg MAC program, seek to anticipate, monitor and mitigate the effects of climate change in Macaronesia and West Africa. The Instituto Tecnológico y de Energías Renovables (ITER) continues to expand its contribution to the fight against climate change with its participation in PLANCLIMAC2 and IMPLACOST, two transnational projects focused on climate risk management and the protection of vulnerable ecosystems in the Macaronesia region and the coastal areas of West Africa. Both initiatives are 85% co-financed by the Interreg MAC 2021-2027 cooperation program, with funds from…
The public companies Sinpromi and ITER and the General Foundation of the ULL signed the agreement today (Monday 27). The Cabildo de Tenerife and the University of La Laguna (ULL) are launching the Digital Transformation Observatory, an initiative attached to the Tenerife Isla Solidaria program that will bring together resources of good practices to be used by volunteer organizations on the island. The agreement was signed today (Monday 27) by the Councilor for Social Action, Águeda Fumero; the Councilor for Innovation, Research and Development, Juan José Martínez; and the Rector of the ULL, Francisco García, and will be developed through…
The project will create a key infrastructure for the digital connectivity of the islands. CanaLink, a company dependent on the Cabildo de Tenerife through the Instituto Tecnológico de Energías Renovables (ITER), has started the route soundings of the future submarine cable system that will link Gran Canaria, Lanzarote and Fuerteventura. The works have been awarded to the specialized companies Elettra and Geoteam. The feasibility studies, carried out by the Explora ship, have begun on the coast of Fuerteventura and will allow to obtain data that will adjust the route in a more efficient and respectful way with the marine ecosystem,…
This work represents the first detailed data set on magmatic gases collected during a subaerial eruption in the Canary archipelago. The Volcanological Institute of the Canary Islands (INVOLCAN) and the University of Manchester (UK) have led a pioneering research that analyzes the chemical composition of the volcanic plume generated during the eruption of Tajogaite (La Palma) in 2021. This study, which employed advanced optical remote sensing techniques, has been published in the prestigious international journal Chemical Geology. Researchers from the Environment area of the Instituto Tecnológico y de Energías Renovables (ITER) have also participated in this research, together with scientists…
The Councilor for Innovation, Research and Development, Juan José Martínez, attended the annual meeting of the entity, where the membership was formalized. DigitalES is the leading organization in the sector in the dialogue with European and Spanish public administrations. The company Canalinka subsidiary of the Cabildo de Tenerife through the Instituto Tecnológico de Energías Renovables (ITER), has joined the Spanish Association for Digitalization. The Councilor for Innovation, Research and Development of the Cabildo de Tenerife, Juan José Martínez, attended the annual meeting of the entity held in Madrid in which the Minister of Digital Transformation, Óscar López, participated and where…
This new scientific publication, led by the Volcanological Institute of the Canary Islands, highlights the international collaborative work on the study of the Tajogaite eruption on La Palma, which occurred in 2021. The new scientific publication on the Tajogaite eruption (La Palma, Canary Islands, Spain) led by the Volcanological Institute of the Canary Islands (INVOLCAN) is the result of a multidisciplinary effort involving leading researchers from the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV, Italy), the University of Geneva (Switzerland), the University of Manchester (UK), the University of Pisa (Italy) and the Institute of Technology and Renewable Energy (ITER). The…
Opportunities for professional collaboration and innovative projects in technology and sustainability marked the day. The students did not miss the opportunity to visit ITER’s stand in the Engineering Technical Conferences of the University of La Laguna (ULL) last December 11th. During the day, they discovered the advances in research and the use of state-of-the-art technologies, besides knowing the current internship offers that ITER has to offer. The Institute of Technology and Renewable Energies (ITER) actively participated in this event, where its presence was highlighted with the exhibition of innovative projects in automation and data intelligence, key elements in the development…
