ERF2024 Event overview

The European Robotics Forum 2024 (ERF2024), the most influential meeting of the robotics community in Europe, was held from 13 – 15 March in Rimini, Italy. 

The event saw the leading experts, both academic and industrial, at international level in robotics come together in the vibrant city of Rimini and saw the presence of the major European companies with interests in this field. The forum had a unique structure and was specifically designed to encourage interaction between end-users, researchers, technology producers with the ultimate goal of improving industrial competitiveness, fostering scientific progress, stimulating networking between stakeholders in the field, and identifying new impactful application scenarios for robotics. The programme of the event was really rich and touched many industrial and research fields where robotics plays a key role. Having this audience of experts all gathered in Italy was truly an exceptional event that we believe can be a driving force for the competitiveness of the entire territory.

The event took place at the magnificent Convention Centre in Rimini and was enriched with an intense social activity to foster the exchange of ideas, revive old friendships and create new ones. A large exhibition area at the convention centre was available to those who wished to display their technologies and ideas, representing a true international showcase.
