EURON Board Working Groups


WG5: Electronic Infrastructure and Web Site


This group supports and maintains our web presence, mailing list infrastructure, and the like. It determines access and resourcing policies for electronic infrastructure. It also deals with issues such as replication, security of data, etc.


Current Proposal (September 30, 2008)


Over the next months, we anticipate that most of the items below will appear:


  1. The EURON web site moves to community maintenance, and is hosted by the new CMS infrastructure. What is needed to permit community maintenance is the secure login system, which is under construction.
  2. EURON will be provided with mailing lists as required, run under the lists.euron.org domain. Working groups will be able to create lists easily to hold focussed discussions.
  3. Members will have a web page on the site which is pointed to from their membership entry, and that they will be responsible for keeping up to date. The official contact person may delegate editing of the page to someone else or to a group.
  4. Members may provide "robot of the week" columns for the web site by filling out an appropriate form. Columns will be subject to editorial approval and, once approved, will join an automatic fair rotation.
  5. The web site and mailing list infrastructure provides RSS channels reporting news and activity from the site. The RSS channels also cover euron-dist and robotics-worldwide, which we mirror.
  6. Members can submit job adverts using a suitable web form, which results in data appearing on the job news pages and advertisement on euron-dist. There is a time-out of three months: after that period, the adverts are removed from the web.
  7. We provide a preprint archive for robotics papers using the Eprints system, which can be linked to other open archives. Later we integrate the Theseuron thesis abstract repository.

Getting Involved


We hope that you will get involved in many of EURON's activities and encourage others to do so as well.

Attend Meetings


Attending meetings is an excellent way of making contacts and friends within the community. These contacts are normally interesting, and may also be useful!

EURON Schools are aimed at PhD students so are particularly good for people wishing to deepen an already existing interest. [ More details  ... ]

Your knowledge and resources are valuable — please consider sharing them with others by adding items to the databases, contributing your opinions to the roadmap and benchmarking initiatives, and your information to this website.

Make use of the resources that EURON offers. Much of the information is freely available to all, but for other resources you have to be a EURON member. Apply for the grants, use the databases and the contacts, apply for the awards, use the mailing lists.
