The MACbioIDi Project has 31 partners in the Canary Islands, Madeira, Azores, Cape Verde, Mauritania, Senegal mainland Spain and the USA. Its goal is to develop medical technology and educational programs, which are usable in the participant territories, paying attention to social and business transfer.

The Advanced Optical Systems Center (CSOA) is an unique infrastructure in Spain for the manufacture of high quality optical elements. This cutting-edge technology is a rising value and, with the necessary requirements in Astrophysics, it is available to very few centers in the world.

The detection of extrasolar life is one of the most important scientific discoveries of the next decades. The ExoLife Finder (ELF) design is a highly flexible telescope-interferometer that acts like a coronagraph using the central star to magnify the independent combinations of the primary and secondary mirrors at a Gregorian focus, while allowing

The LIFEM laboratory (Laboratory for Integrated Photonics, Opto-Electronics and Opto-Mechanics Fotonics) will provide IACTEC new headquarters with the technical infrastructure required to support strategic R&D activities. LIFEM will be equipped thanks to the fundings provided to IAC by : the Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades via the

Artificial intelligence can improve both the accuracy and the speed of medical diagnosis. This has been found to be true for colorectal cancer. This project, a collaboration between the University Hospital and the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias, is implementing a tool to assist pathologists in prioritizing the mosr urgent cases of this

The Free Space Optical Communications Group is focused in develop and research of quantum optical communications equipments and implementations, between buildings, islands or with LEO/GEO satellite. Also exploit Adaptive Optics in quantum optical communications, develop powerful new technologies. Our EXPERIENCE is: - QKD optical ground terminal
