Information for New MembersWelcome to EURONthe European Robotics Research NetworkWe hope that you find EURON interesting and useful. We encourage you to find out about our activities by exploring this web site, in particular the activities index page. Our most popular pages are the home page (of course) and the robot gallery. If your group does not have a robot in the gallery, why not send the details to our webmaster, bridget AT mmmi.sdu.dk. Your robot will also appear on the page for your country. EURON currently has around 190 members in 28 countries. If you'd like to know more about EURON members in a particular country, please click on that country on the active map representation. Your country's national representative can also be found there. Longer lists of members can also be found through the membership lists. Our News and Jobs section is also popular, especially with PhD students. When they are ready, encourage them to put their thesis into the Theseuron PhD repository. You can also submit them for a prize. Other Education & Training activities are also highly successful. Do participate in them, and contribute whenever possible. EURON organises EUROS, a robotics symposium with a special European emphasis. The next EUROS takes place in Prague, between 26 and 29 March 2008. It will have a couple of special events for PhD students. Our Annual Meetings are the meeting place for European roboticists. The 2008 annual meeting will of course be in Prague end-to-end with EUROS.
If you do not already subscribe to the
euron-dist mailing list, you are encouraged to sign up as soon as
possible. This will keep you in touch with many calls and activities.

We hope that you will choose to get involved in some of our activities. In particular, we hope that you will contribute to the Research Roadmap, our databases, and/or the EURON Schools. The key area coordinators will welcome your contributions. We hope that you will help to keep our website up-to-date by informing the editor bridget AT mmmi.sdu.dk of anything that might be interesting to members. You are also welcome with your proposals to our different calls, such as those for Summer schools, Research projects, or SIGs. Calls for proposals are advertised on the mailing list and on this website. You don't have any financial obligations until you do something concrete. Membership is currently free of charge. For attending the Annual meeting each member gets € 250 as partial travel reimbursement. The next annual EURON meeting will take place in the spring of 2007. We do hope that you will be able to participate. For organising a summer school, you can get up to € 10K from EURON. Then you have the obligation to report the work and the costs (see separate rules). Similar conditions apply if you are awarded a research contract. More about our organisation and priorities can be found on the page entitled What is Euron II?" Your contributions, suggestions for improvements, and other interesting information are always most welcome. Kind regards and welcome to EURON.
