As a novelty, this year, thanks to the collaboration of the company Fractus, the FRACTUS-MASTEAM award for the best MASTEAM Thesis is presented. Fractus is a company born from the research carried out at the UPC, created by one of the school's teachers, Carles Puente, and which has been a pioneering company in the development of fractal antennas for smartphones, tablets and IoT devices.

The awarded project is titled “Intrusion Detection in IoT networks using Machine Learning", supervised by Professor Olga León and defended by the student Francisco Camilo Mejías Espinosa.

At the request of the students themselves, EETAC professors José Luis Valenzuela, David Garcia and Pere L. Gilabert also took part in the event.
