NewsCalls, Jobs and Other NewsEU funding of the current EURON network ended in April 2008. Unfortunately, the ending of EU funding also meant the ending of paid secretarial and technical support. We apologise to anyone who is affected and for the current slow response times noticable in this website. We aim to have the new system fully functional as soon as possible. The new EURON Board received resounding support in our big vote, with over 110 members out of 199 voting, and very few "no" votes. Unfortunately EURON II stopped accepting new members on Jan 20th 2008, so it is now too late to join. EURON III hopes to start accepting new members after the summer, but this may slip a bit. The EURON Annual Meeting 2008 took place in Prague on March 28th. Science editorial on RoboEthics from Nov 2007. EURON awards two prizes annually, the Georges Giralt award for the best robotics PhD thesis (see above call) and the Technology Transfer Award for cooperation between research and industry. Robotics news websites are listed as a resource. Mailing ListThe EURON news and events items are also available through our mailing list euron-dist: a moderated mailing list for general announcements related to robotics, such as conferences, special issues, jobs, etc. The International Federation of Robotics (IFR) has a quarterly Newsletter available free of charge to those interested in industrial or service robotics. Previous issues include : 4th quarter 2006, 3rd quarter 2006. IFR also keeps a list of Robotics conferences and symposia and of trade fairs and exhibitions. Blogs on Network Robotics and Internet ComputingHeron robots have started blogs on network robotics and internet computing and network robotics. This initiative is currently in "beta" phase. If you are interested in contributing, please contact fabio.bonsignorio AT gmail.com or research AT heronrobots.com You will receive an invitation allowing you to post on the blog. In the future Heron is going to introduce a peer reviewed area (there will be a call for reviewer/editors later). |
