Sep/24th/2025 HEAT PUMP TECHNOLOGY FORUM AS A SUSTAINABLE SYSTEM IN HVAC INSTALLATIONS
The Thermotechnical Research Group (GIR) at the University of Valladolid (UVa) is organizing this activity within the framework of the Industrial Engineering doctoral program, in collaboration with the international companies Carrier and Daikin, in the auditorium of the School of Industrial Engineering in Valladolid. We intend for this forum to be open to all professionals, companies, and, of course, doctoral and undergraduate students.
22 years of collaboration between the universities of Malta and Valladolid (Spain) in the field of Sustainable Energy
As a result of the collaboration between the Sustainable Energy Institute of the University of Malta and the GIR of Termotecnia of the University of Valladolid, both research and academic activities have been successfully linked since 2003. Specifically, to date, 45 indexed publications, 43 final degree projects, doctoral and Erasmus Plus specialization courses, as well as collaborative doctoral theses and various internationally recognized awards have been published. The ITAP Institute congratulates the current leaders, Professors Charles Yousif and Francisco Javier Rey.
RESEARCH DISSEMINATION CONFERENCE CONDUCTED BY RECOGNIZED RESEARCH INSTITUTES AND GROUPS AT THE VALLADOLID SCHOOL OF INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING
May 28, 2025 Recognition of Javier Rey with the 2025 Roger Lèron Award
Our colleague Javier Rey, professor in the Department of Energy and Fluid Mechanics Engineering and a member of the Thermotechnology group, has been awarded second place in the 2025 Roger Lèron Prize, awarded by the European Federation of Energy and Environment Agencies and Regions (FEDARENE) for his professional career in the fields of energy and sustainability in the European Union.
The professor received this recognition in the "Longstanding Achievement Award" category on May 15 at an event held in Brussels.

May 19, 2025 Course on "Instrumentation, Measurement, and Signal Processing""
The GIR ADIRE (Department of Electrical Engineering) and the Doctoral Program in Industrial Engineering, in collaboration with the ITAP, are organizing the following course:
"Instrumentación, medición y procesamiento de señales: Consideraciones prácticas para la experimentación"
Course Syllabus:
- Introduction to Metrology
- The Instrumentation Chain
- Measurement Parameters
- Static Measurements
- Dynamic Measurements

May 29, 2024 Course on “Introduction to spectral analysis of signals”
Course on “Introduction to spectral analysis of signals” Organized by the ADIRE group, professors Dr. René de Jesús Romero, from the Autonomous University of Querétaro and Dr. Tomás A. García from the University of Valladolid will teach an introductory course to the spectral analysis of signals in the industry on June 13, 2024 in the Degree Room 2304 of the Mergelina/EII Headquarters. It has been divided into two parts: The first part is dedicated to a theoretical introduction to the spectral analysis of stationary signals with the FFT. The second part addresses the time-frequency analysis of non-stationary signals with the Short-Time Fourier Transform. In both blocks, practical examples of signals taken in industry and electrical installations will be shown. More information at this link.
Apr 17, 2024 José Ramón Perán González, winner of the “XI Award for Best Director of the magazine Castilla y León Económica”
We congratulate José Ramón Perán González, general director of Cartif, professor emeritus of the UVa, former director of the EII and member of ITAP, who has been awarded the "XI Prize for the Best Economic Director of Castilla y León", for the launch 30 years ago of Cartif, which is currently positioned as the first technological center in Castilla y León and second in Spain in terms of its participation in projects financed by the Horizon Europe program. The awards ceremony will take place next May 9 at 6:15 p.m. in Auditorium I of the Valladolid Fair. More information at this link.
Apr 04, 2024 News published in the newspaper “El Norte de Castilla”
On April 7, the following news was published in the newspaper “El Norte de Castilla” (click on the image to enlarge):
Robot-assisted rehabilitation successfully reverses hand atrophy caused by severe COVID.
A magazine of international prestige collects the research from UVA and Benito Menni that supports the exoskeleton to rescue mobility and reduce the lack of autonomy.
Gesture Recognition Robot in Laparoscopic Surgery
Hand-assisted surgery (HALS) represents a new intermediate scenario between classic laparoscopic surgery and laparotomy. In it, the surgeon inserts one hand into the abdomen to manipulate the organs, while with the other he uses the conventional instruments of minimally invasive surgery. This type of approach is useful in complex situations, where classic laparoscopic surgery cannot be applied, and it has been shown that patient recovery times are not superior to the latter technique.
Robot for the rehabilitation of hand functions through active therapies in people with neuromotor disabilities
Rehabilitation robotics: Design, control and manufacturing of robotic devices for upper limb rehabilitation tasks in people with neuromotor disabilities. In this line of research, mechatronic robot-assisted exercise devices are developed that significantly improve the success rate in neurological rehabilitation therapy to relearn the movement skills of the upper limbs (arm and hand).
