September 4, 2009, 10 am – 4 pm

We welcome robotic experts, scientists and practitioners, both from academia and industry who are interested in participating in ECHORD.
The focus of this event will be on the exchange of ideas and partner search for ECHORD experimenters.
Since the first call for experiments will be issued September 28, this event will be the perfect opportunity to discuss the procedural requirements with experts from ECHORD and get information on upcoming calls and the selection process. Moreover, there will be the chance to discuss equipment details with industry, to find common ground between researchers and industry, and for pairing up of applicants and research expertise.
