ERC is the brightest space and robotics event in Europe that fosters future robotics and space engineers’ careers. It consists of two parts: Challenge Zone and Inspiration Zone. The first one is a unique robotics competition that goes beyond any textbook theory, allowing students to design, build and test the performance of their (fully) autonomous rovers and then compete against other teams from around the world. The tasks prepared for the teams are based on actual missions planned and executed by NASA or the European Space Agency. The Inspiration Zone consists of science and technology shows and presentations, both on-site and online. If you are interested in: -> Linking your brand to the themes like space and science, technology and robotics, future and human development. -> Engaging with the ERC community to seek potential employees and top talents and make ERC part of your employer branding campaign. -> Becoming a partner and/or speaker of international debates regarding innovations, trends, and future.

3. ERC is about the new era of scientific renaissance.
Those who join us on this journey like to call themselves passionauts.
Every year, hundreds of young engineers and space en-
thusiasts from all over the world come to Poland to compete
and share ideas about space exploration. Representing a great
diversity of cultures and backgrounds, they have a few things in
common: their passion for space technologies, discovering the
unknown and taking humanity a step further.
Thousands around the world watch them online, as they com-
pete in their respective categories and put their ideas and solu-
tions to many different tests. As ERC organisers, we are truly
delighted to see this community of young visionaries and their
followers getting bigger and bigger every year.

4. Space exploration has never been so popular. We hear stories of insti-
tutions and companies drawing ever more ambitious plans for future
space exploration. The evolution of advanced space technologies over
the years has defined many of the essential tools and services we have
long come to take for granted, like GPS, mobile communications, even
advanced photography.
As one of the key players in space advocacy, we have privileged access
to emerging trends and hundreds of new initiatives all over the world.
And these are the most passionate communities interested in future,
humanity development and raise of the exponential technologies.
Every industry is powered by visionaries. Would you like to join us
and nurture the next generation of space explorers?

6. The Challenge Zone is where the title-event, the Europe-
an Rover Challenge, is staged. This unique robotics compe-
tition goes beyond any textbook theory, allowing students
to design, build and test the performance of their (fully) au-
tonomous rovers and then compete against other teams
from around the world. The tasks prepared for the teams
are based on real missions planned and executed by NASA
or the European Space Agency.
ERC Challenges reflect the real engineering experience in
that it also requires budgeting and fundraising, marketing,
project management, and resource management skills.
Team members gain additional experience in complex pro-
blem solving and approaching some of the leading Spa-
ce/Industry 4.0 companies with their future careers in mind.

7. The Inspiration Zone consists of science and technology
shows and presentations, both on-site and online. This sec-
tion of ERC is accompanied by a series of lectures and deba-
tes with keynote speakers coming from the best internatio-
nal space and tech companies. One of its focus areas is to
educate and raise awareness by reaching wider audiences
with interesting, engaging content (science, technology, ro-
botics and space).
Every year, the number of visitors grows (organically) from
5.000 onsite visitors (2014) to almost 30.000 in 2019.
We started with a few hundred online viewers back in
2014, only to reach nearly 100.000 in 2020.
