Our project coordinator, Dr Alberto Hernández, presented the ICARO project at the EIC Pathfinder Infoday, an event organised by FECYT (Spanish Foundation for Science and Technology), together with the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya and the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid.
The event took place on 1 February at the UPM School of Industrial Engineering and Design (Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería y Diseño Industrial). Among the highlights of the programme, ICARO was showcased as a success story during a round-table discussion alongside two other European research projects: RETIMAGER and THERMOBAT, the latter having already progressed to the EIC Transition stage.
The event also featured presentations by Carlos Casorrán, from EISMEA, and Isabel Obieta, Programme Manager. They provided attendees with an overview of the different EIC Pathfinder portfolios and detailed information about the funding call, covering aspects of great interest to the participants.
The event offered an excellent opportunity to share ICARO’s progress, exchange experiences with other European research initiatives and highlight the potential of Pathfinder-funded projects to bring innovative technologies closer to real-world applications.
