The Institute for Ceramic Technology (ITC-AICE) was created more than 50 years ago in response to the needs of the Spanish ceramic cluster. Its R&D lines are: Ceramic Applications in Building, Resilient Cities against climate change, Product Customisation, Materials Optimisation and New Materials development, Industrial Symbiosis and Circular Economy where we develop more sustainable ceramic processes and products, Decarbonisation of Industry given the need to achieve a sustainable industry not depending on fossil fuels, Industrial Processes promoting the adoption of Strategy 4.0 and the simulation and modelling, and Occupational Health and Safety to achieve safer working environments thanks to actions to minimise the exposure to harmful compounds to health such as Respirable Crystalline Silica and nanoparticles.
