Coinciding with the Science and Innovation Weeks and the European Quality Week 2024, ITER organizes three open days to bring its scientific and technological work closer to society. Once again, the Instituto Tecnológico y de Energías Renovables (ITER) aligns its scientific-technological dissemination activities with the programs organized by entities such as the Agencia Canaria de Investigación, Innovación y Sociedad de la Información del Gobierno de Canarias and the Oficina de Consumo del Cabildo Insular de Tenerife. Within the framework of the Science and Innovation Weeks and the European Quality Week, the Institute of Technology and Renewable Energies (ITER), an entity…
The ITER research staff in charge of the activity travelled to Cape Verde last October to carry out the final handover of the installation to the University, as well as the delivery of the equipment. The Cabildo de Tenerife, through the Instituto Tecnológico y de Energías Renovables (ITER), the University of Cape Verde (Uni-CV) and the University of La Laguna (ULL), has launched the Enfocave project to promote sustainability and photovoltaic energy in Cape Verde. This project, consisting of the supply and installation of a photovoltaic plant for R&D and a teaching system for renewable energies in Cape Verde, is…
The field work allows for confirmation in the field of the parameters analyzed for the initial selection of the action nuclei. PAULIA is a project funded by the Ministry of Science and Innovation through the State Research Agency /10.13039/501100011033 and by the “European Union NextGenerationEU/PRTR”, involving ITER, the public company SERMUGRAN and the main public research organization in Spain, the State Agency Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC), which participates in the project through two research centers: the Instituto de Ciencias de la Construcción Eduardo Torroja (IETcc-CSIC) and the Real Jardín Botánico (RJB-CSIC). The overall objective of this project is…

Researchers from the Genomics area of ITER have participated in the 2nd International Colloquium on Lung and Airway Fibrosis(ICLAF – International Colloquium on Lung and AirwayFibrosis), held in the city of Athens, Greece, from October 12 to 16, 2024. This international conference, which is held every two years, brings together multidisciplinary teams made up of research and clinical personnel specialized in basic and translational science. These teams work specifically on the study of diseases associated with interstitial lung anomalies(ILA), including diffuse interstitial lung diseases (ILD). Of these, perhaps the best known due to its relevance and diverse clinical presentations is…
ITER’s facilities opened their doors to this media aimed at the Italian public living in Tenerife. Reporter Benny Franchini from Vive le Canarie magazine conducted an interview with ITER’s CEO, Mrs. Begoña Ortiz Leston, who shared the main lines of work and future development of the institute. The interview focused on several key issues, highlighting ITER’s growing involvement in the aerospace sector. Ortiz highlighted the recent international agreements that position ITER as a relevant actor in this field. In addition, he pointed out the importance of the institute as an engine for innovation and business growth in the Canary Islands,…
