Side events
In addition to the European Robotics League competitions, the event offers a diverse programme of side events, including live demonstrations, workshops for young people and students, and networking opportunities for companies and researchers. These activities not only showcase the potential of robotics, but also explore how and when such technologies can be applied responsibly in urban environments.
By bringing together science, industry, and citizens, the event creates an accessible platform for dialogue and engagement around technological innovation. An overview of the side events can be found below. The programme will be updated regularly.
