A recent collaboration between GTD and University of Catalonia, has led to the development of a professional training course in quality assurance for safety-critical software and systems, focused on the biomedical, transport and aerospace sectors.GTD, The Aerospace Research and Technology Centre (CTAE) and the Technical University of Catalonia (UPC) joined forces in late 2006 to organize an innovative professional training course in quality assurance for critical software and systems, with the support of UPC Foundation and the University of Ohio. To date, two successful editions of the course have been held with international participation, and a third edition is scheduled for February 2009, in Barcelona.This course was created with the aim of providing the participant with the academic state-of-the-art knowledge and advances, together with a practical view of how these solutions are implemented in current and future projects with industry.
