The Institute of Technology and Renewable Energies (ITER) is developing the PAULIA project, in collaboration with the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), through the Eduardo Torroja Institute for Construction Science (IETcc-CSIC), the Royal Botanic Gardens and SERMUGRAN. PAULIA, also known as “System for Detection and Correction of Hot Spots in Public Spaces in Small Urban Areas”, is a pioneering initiative that seeks to improve the way in which climate vulnerability is assessed and addressed in smaller-scale urban areas.This project, which started in December 2023 and will last for three years, is led by the Institute of Technology and Renewable Energies (ITER),…

The ports of Ferrol, Granadilla and Leixões (Porto) will be pioneers in demonstrating how digitalization and AI enable docks to become green energy generation platforms at competitive prices and renewable energy innovation laboratories. Over the next three years, more than 70 megawatts are expected to be installed by 2030 in the three docks. The implementation of the ENEPORTS initiative, led by the Instituto Tecnológico de Galicia (ITG) and involving the Instituto Tecnológico y de Energías Renovables (ITER) and Puertos de Tenerife, will encourage new renewable agents to set up in the port area, with the socio-economic benefit for the regions…
INVOLCAN and ITER researchers have collaborated in this research led by the Instituto de Investigação em Vulcanologia e Avaliação de Riscos (IVAR) of the University of the Azores, which represents an important milestone to improve the monitoring of volcanic activity. The study of fluid inclusions in minerals emerges as a crucial tool to monitor in near-real time the ascent of magma during a volcanic eruption. This methodology, defined and validated during the eruption of the Tajogaite volcano on La Palma, has been the focus of a joint research led by the Instituto de Investigação em Vulcanologia e Avaliação de Riscos…
Researchers from INVOLCAN and ITER have collaborated on this research led by the Institute of Volcanology and Risk Assessment (IVAR) of the University of the Azores, which represents a significant milestone in improving volcanic activity monitoring. The study of fluid inclusions in minerals emerges as a crucial tool for almost real-time monitoring of magma ascent during a volcanic eruption. This methodology, defined and validated during the eruption of the Tajogaite volcano in La Palma, has been the focus of a joint research led by the Institute of Volcanology and Risk Assessment (IVAR) of the University of the Azores, in collaboration…
The results obtained by the more than two hundred photometers deployed by the Interreg EELabs project over the last four years have been used to assess the impact of artificial light at night on the nocturnal ecosystems of the archipelagos – especially seabirds – but also to raise public awareness of the consequences of this type of pollution. In Macaronesia, natural darkness is only preserved in very isolated nature reserves such as Corvo or Graciosa Island (Azores), Alegranza (Chinijo Archipelago, Canary Islands) or protected by law such as the Roque de Los Muchachos National Park (La Palma, Canary Islands). Since…
The results obtained by over two hundred photometers deployed by the Interreg EELabs project over the past four years have served to assess the impact of artificial night light on nocturnal ecosystems in the archipelagos – especially seabirds – but also to raise awareness among the population about the consequences of this type of pollution. In Macaronesia, natural darkness is only preserved in very isolated natural reserves such as the islands of Corvo or Graciosa (Azores), Alegranza (Chinijo Archipelago, Canary Islands), or protected by law like the Roque de Los Muchachos Nature Park (La Palma, Canary Islands). Since the beginning…
The Canary Islands Digital Innovation Center (CIDIHUB), of which the Institute of Technology and Renewable Energies (ITER) is part, seeks to provide skills, resources and training to companies, with the intention of positioning the Canary Islands at the forefront of the European digital economy. That is why we invite you to the event “Canarias más Digital”, which will be held on February 6th from 10:00 in the Multipurpose Room of the IACTEC building in the Scientific and Technological Park of Tenerife (PCTT) located in San Cristobal de la Laguna. Where you will learn first hand about the services that each…
The President of the Cabildo, Rosa Dávila, highlights ITER’s commitment with sustainability and renewable energies through its projects. The Cabildo of Tenerife has organized, together with the Cabildo of Gran Canaria, the Covenant of Mayors Office and the Canary Islands Federation of Municipalities, the National Meeting of the Covenant of Mayors 2024, which took place on January 30 and 31 in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and Tenerife, respectively, and focused on adaptation to climate change, citizen participation, tourism sustainability, energy poverty and energy communities. The Covenant of Mayors for Climate and Sustainable Energy is a program of the European…
