Several regional awards in Catalonia have recognized achievements in digital art and student research. In Igualada, the XXIX Jaume Graells Digital Art Prize was awarded to Madrid-based artist Paula García Fernández for her work ‘Transfiguración Radiolaria’.

The recognized works spanned various disciplines, including satellite orbit prediction, maternal milk analysis, geological itineraries in Alt Empordà, and the automation of collaborative robots integrated with 3D printing. Other winners focused on technical design, biomechanical analysis, and the use of artificial intelligence for the early detection of neurodegenerative diseases.
