More than 3,700 large hydropower dams are currently planned or under construction across the Global South, reproducing many of the environmental and social problems of the past. Although the World Commission on Dams issued the main guidelines in 2000 aimed at promoting fairer and more sustainable planning, the main dam-building countries dismissed them as impractical. […]
What can quantum computers do for you today? 2026-04-07Image Seminar What can quantum computers do for you today? Date 28/04 Place Pere Pascual V5.07 Room and via Zoom Abstract: This could be a very short talk. But it won’t. Current quantum computers can already simulate quantum systems at a scale beyond the reach of Earth’s largest (classical) supercomputers. The real question is: what are […]

“Made in Germany” cars: Germany captures wages while labour and emissions occur elsewhere 2026-04-07To what extent are vehicles labelled “Made in Germany” actually produced in Germany? A new study conducted at ICTA-UAB shows that, while the German automotive industry captures most of the wages associated with the production of these vehicles, a substantial share of labour and greenhouse gas emissions takes place outside the country, along global production […]
