ERW 2023 Event overview

Central Event 2023

THEME “Demistify robotics”

The European Robotics Week (ERW) was conceived at the European Robotics Forum (ERF) 2011 by the desire of the European Robotics community to bring robotics research and development closer to the public and to build the future Robotics Society.

In 2023 European Robotics Week took place from 18 till 24 November 2023 offering one week of various robotics related activities across Europe for the general public, highlighting the growing importance of robotics in a wide variety of application areas and the growing importance of skills in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM).

The Central event of European Robotics Week took place from 21 till 24 November 2023 in Hannover, Germany. The local organizers and euRobotics have established a vibrant 4 day program.
