Call for Workshops & Tutorials

Workshops and tutorials will be held in ECMR 2023 on Monday, September 4th 2023, in face-to-face format, to focus on key areas of active research and provide a forum for participants to share new ideas and discuss recent results. We encourage proposals for topics that have substantial community interest, with a creative and innovative workshop/tutorial program that will attract a broad audience. Workshops and tutorials focusing on academia-industry partnership and technology transfer of robotics research are welcome. The primary criteria for selection are anticipated level of interest, impact, novelty or creativity, and opportunities for networking among participants.

Proposals for full-day or half-day workshops and tutorials should be presented in a 3-page PDF document and include the following information:
