UCM-UPM, working together.
Rocío Sanchez, a UCM student in the translation and interpretation degree, collaborated with us in the 2020-21 academic year. She writes about her experience with us:
For almost a year I have had the opportunity of being part of this Research Laboratory group. This allowed me to learn not only a great deal about translation and its working methods but also about teamwork. I have translated and reviewed numerous texts, some of which are going to be published or have already been published. I’m grateful to have been of help. Not only because I’m sure it will be useful to me in the future, but also because I’ve gained knowledge that I never knew I would have. In my opinion, an internship is always a positive experience that will help you get an idea of the work market and to acquire techniques and strategies that you are not taught in class. As for me, I have learned how to make glossaries, how to document myself with parallel texts, how to study a text before working on it and how to make a thorough revision of the material. My experience with them has been entirely favourable and I would recommend anyone else to join this amazing working group.
Grateful and committed to the formation of our students: together we are stronger! Thanks Rocío.
SMART MinEnergy: LiP visited abandoned coal mines
March 22nd and 23rd 2021. The research team formed by the Santa Bárbara, Túneles y Geomecánica Foundation and UPM itself explored the options for implementing CAES technologies in abandoned coal mines. As an evolutionary process of the SMART MinEnergy project, the scaling of the prototype is considered and the real operating conditions in environments with pre-industrial dimensions are evaluated.
A unique experience, being able to enter abandoned mining spaces, where once an energy resource such as coal was exploited. It is exciting to consider these spaces as an option, to store renewable energy.
Take part on the survey on circular economy and mineral resources.
This survey is a part of a new CIRCEXTIN project (Strategic partnership for fostering circular economy approach in extractive industry related study programmes).
The objective of the project is to create a strategic partnerships of Universities and companies developing a comprehensive training platform that will help to modify existing study programmes related to extractive industry with up-to-date, practical and applicable knowledge of proper waste management in extractive industry incorporating circular economy approach. This platform will also gather information on study programmes from the top European universities that offer programmes related to various extractive industries.
The survey aims to obtain information from a large sample of European countries.
Participating in this survey will make significant support to your colleague and/or partner from TUDELFT, TalTech, Silesian University of Technology, and Montan University of Leoben universities, and JSWI and COBANT companies.
