Spain: Andalusia

Overview

The Association of Investigation and Industrial Cooperation of Andalusia "F. de Paula Rojas" (AICIA) is an association that exclusively pretends public interest without profit aim and whose purpose is to impel, orientate, and develop the industrial investigation, in order to favour the technological advance in Andalusia and to collaborate for a better capacity of the Andalusian industrial engineers.

 

The purposes of AICIA, as it is established in the fourth article of its statutes, are:

 

To realize investigation projects and studies of interest for the industry in general and particularly for its associates.

To establish cooperation relationships with public or private entities, or with people, for service contribution and the execution of investigation works.
To participate actively in the protection of the industrial environment, by means of evaluation of the contamination levels and advisory in fabrication processes less polluting and in corrective measures of the installations… AICIA has research laboratories in different parts of its research activities, as well as agreements for the joint use of the research laboratories at the Engineering School of the University of Seville.

​The list of laboratories  and its mains capacities are:

Aerospace laboratory.
Wind tunnel.
Solar energy Lab.
Structural testing lab.
High voltage electrical lab.
Co2 capture Lab
Chemistry and environment lab
Thermal engines lab
Electronic lab-white room
Power electronics lab
Aeronautics components test lab
Calibration and measurement lab
Materials lab
