2. History: EU Robotics programme in FP7
(2007–2013)
• More than 100 on-going projects today
• With over 700 partners
• FP7 – Robotics: ~500 M€ funding
Largest publicly funded robotics programme in
the world (civil)
http://cordis.europa.eu/fp7/ict/robotics/projects/areas-projects_en.html
4. Impact of the EU effort
Substantial addition to the body of knowledge (hundreds if
not thousands of publications, papers, presentations etc)
Progress towards deployment in application areas e.g. search
& rescue, underwater, surgical, manufacturing,…
Progress towards socio-economic aspect
Raising public awareness(e.g. London Science Museum,
European robotics weeks)
5. European Robotics Week 2013
25th November to the 1st of
December
Over 170 activities already registered
(Workshops, Laboratory Tours,
Competitions, Exhibitions, …)
YOU…. ROBOTOCIST
…..WANT TO BE PART OF IT!!
PLEASE REGISTER NOW

6. Horizon 2020: Strategy
Stronger focus on innovation and bringing
research closer to the market
Simplified access for all companies, universities,
institutes in all EU countries and beyond
New instruments to foster innovation, for
example Pre-Commercial Procurement or the SME
Instrument
Three priorities:
- Excellent Science
- Industrial Leadership (this is where robotics will be
situated)
- Societal Challenges
7. But H2020 is also about…
BETTER SYNERGIES BETWEEN VARIOUS FUNDING
PROGRAMMES
Increased coordination and elimination of
Europe's fragmented efforts.
Coordination of initiatives at regional, national
and European level is key.
9. What is a PPP?
European Robotics PPP
Private Partner euRobotics aisbl
● Development of research
& development &
innovation agenda
● Suggesting call topics,
priorities, funding profile
Regular meetings
Public Partner
● Implementation of R&D&I
agenda
structured dialogue
CLEAR SEPARATION OF ROLES
Private Partner: Strategy
Public Partner: Implementation
The private part is not involved in the selection of
proposals
