National Coordinators in Europe and beyond
Many European countries and not only have a national coordinator who acts as a main contact point for the central coordinator, that is euRobotics in Brussels. In addition, national coordinators actively promote the Week in their country among robotics organizations, research institutes/universities and encourage them to open their doors, and sponsor or organize various robotics events for the general public.
The following is a list of the coordinators so far! We need your help to make this a success. To organize an event please contact your country coordinator or the euRobotics AISBL Secretariat.

Starting from the belief that no one should be left behind in the technology race in Romania, as part of the European Robotics Week, we tried to bring robotics and new technologies to different environments. We organized events in informatics and mathematics high schools – were the pupils knew about the technologies but never seen them before; and we also organized events in rural areas for children from vulnerable groups – to show them the potential and teach them to dream. In both settings the visit was a total success and the participants were extremely excited. This is why for the next editions we will make things better and bigger!

We are at the gates of a new robotic revolution.
By the 2020s-2030s, robots are expected to land massively in multiple production sectors, beyond industrial. Robotic technologies are already integrated into industry, agriculture, medicine and assistance, transport, security, energy, environment, leisure, education, etc. In addition, robots are very complex machines that involve the work of numerous professionals and companies.
The Spanish Robotics Technology Platform, HispaRob, is a forum in which the different actors involved in the development, promotion and integration of robotic technologies in all areas of our society converge.
The overall objective of the Platform is to contribute to the positioning of Spain as one of the world leaders in robotics, promoting initiatives aimed at the development of innovative, marketable and useful robotic products and services for society.
Objectives
- Coordination of initiatives to connect research efforts with new commercially innovative products with an added value for our society.
- To promote new business ventures in robotics.
- To promote new joint research projects.
- To increase visibility of Robotics as a solution for some of various social environments challenges.
- Strategic analysis of future robotics applications and business opportunities.
- To be an open network for businesses, universities, R&D centers, end users and, also, public institutions interested in robotics.
- To help our associates increase their internationalization opportunities.
- Coordination with International robotics organisations.
- Contribute to generate new employment and wealth by increase the possibilities for the creation of new tech companies.
