European Robotics Week 2025 is fast approaching and so too is this year’s Focus Event. In order to show you how we are positioning it for the media, our latest news release (also available in Estonian) tells the story:
Just seven weeks remain until the city of Tallinn plays host to the Focus Event for the 15th edition of European Robotics Week at the Tallinn University of Technology (TalTech), in collaboration with Robotex.
The euRobotics event will take place on 3-4 December 2025. European Robotics Week was created to bring robotics closer to civil society as a whole and young people in particular. The Focus Event in Tallinn will include activities open to the general public, plus institutional events with representatives from administration, industry, research and academia.
The centre of attention will be on the social impact of robotics and technology. In keeping with European Robotics Week’s traditional areas of interest, this year’s event will spotlight the role of robotics in education, working life and society at large.
Over two days the Focus Event will offer:
- Workshops for schools and children – inspiring young people to take an interest in technology and science.
- Hands-on events for the elderly – to help them better understand and use digital solutions in their daily lives.
- High-level meetings, debates and a dinner for invited senior representatives and decision makers from a range of institutions – creating opportunities for collaboration between businesses, researchers and policy makers.
- Meetings with Estonian industrial policy makers – to discuss the direction for promising future innovation.
The event’s broader aim is to bring robotics closer to society as a whole by raising awareness of the potential of robotics and to support collaboration between research, education and industry.
Immediately after the Focus Event at TalTech, the international robotics festival Robotex International will take place from 5-6 December 2025 at the Unibet Arena. Now in its 25th edition, Robotex International is the world’s largest educational robotics and technology festivals, bringing together young innovators, researchers and companies from all over the world.
European Robotics Week (ERW) was created in 2011 at the European Robotics Forum (ERF) to bring robotics science and development closer to the public and to shape a forward-looking robotics-aware society. Every year, local activities are organised and held all over Europe. This year’s European Robotics Week will take place from 21-30 November 2025. Each year euRobotics and a local host organise a headline event in a prominent European location, as in Tallinn this year, to provide a high-level point of focus for ERW. Given its timing, to tie-in with Robotex International, the Focus Event in Tallinn will therefore serve as the climax and curtain-closer for this year’s European Robotics Week.
