UPC is launching a comprehensive initiative featuring grants, financial aid, and adapted support measures to ensure access, academic continuity, and participation for students.

The Barcelona School of Civil Engineering (ETSECCPB - UPC) will host its Research and Innovation Day 2026 on Wednesday, November 4, 2026, from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM. This edition will focus on knowledge transfer and strategic collaboration between the university, the business sector, and public administrations.

A free, hands-on, five-session training program organized by Emprèn UPC, designed to help undergraduate students, master's students, and Alumni transform technical solutions and innovative ideas into viable projects and startups.

Bachelor's and master's students can now form teams to design and build their own bridge, test it in the laboratory until collapse, earn 1.5 ECTS credits, compete for a €500 prize, and represent the School in the national phase.

Despite having increasingly advanced hydrological and hydraulic models, predicting the exact behavior of water in an urban environment remains a major scientific and technical challenge. Storm variability, the complexity of the urban surface, the subsurface, and moving elements—such as vehicles or trash containers—introduce key uncertainties into flood risk management.

More than 30 professors and researchers associated with the School rank among the top 2% of most-cited scientists worldwide in civil, environmental, geotechnical, and numerical engineering.

Aigües de Barcelona opens an open innovation call aimed at technology centers, research groups, startups, and innovation ecosystem companies specialized in data science and artificial intelligence.

From November 5 to 19, Barcelona will host the first edition of this 2-ECTS course focused on addressing mobility challenges for the elderly. Master’s students benefit from free tuition and direct access to networking opportunities with companies and public administrations.

The meeting brought together around forty experts from 12 European countries, members of the consortium, and served to advance the implementation of tools to anticipate and manage various climate risks such as droughts and floods—models that can be scaled to other Catalan municipalities.

The Escola de Camins will host the VII Annual Meeting of InterPore Spain on November 17 and 18, 2026. Participation is free, and the deadline for registration and abstract submission is October 31.
