ICCUB participates actively in the CENSAT (Centre d’Aplicacions Civils de Petits Satèl·lits) initiative which was started last June in the framework of the Barcelona Knowledge Campus.

This project impulsed by the city council, and other research institutions such as UB, UPC, University of Florida, and the "Institut Cartogràfic i Geològic de Catalunya", aims at producing scientific and comercial applications with the help of satellite and microsatellite technology.
