Introduction
euRobotics is a Brussels-based international non-profit association for all stakeholders in European robotics. With about 250 member organisations, euRobotics is a strong representative body for the European robotics community. The European Robotics Forum is the flagship event of euRobotics. After its start in San Sebastian in 2010, this annual event has quickly become the most influential meeting of the European robotics community. Between 1000 and 1500 researchers, engineers, managers, and a growing number of entrepreneurs and business people from all over Europe (and a growing number of people from outside Europe) come together to discuss topics and content which have an immediate impact on the road-mapping process for robotics in Europe.
Purpose of this Call for Hosting
The overarching purpose of this Call for Hosting is to identify interested parties who are willing to co-organise the European Robotics Forum 2029 with euRobotics, the brand owner and principle manager of the Forum. We are therefore looking for committed organisers who can, together with euRobotics, organise an amazing event that brings together the European robotics community. At least one of the Co-organisers should be a member or applicant member of euRobotics. Hosting the event means getting good visibility across Europe and creates an opportunity to highlight robotics research and development, production and deployment in the hosting country and region.
