Objective
The project, whose "honour president" is Professor NICOLLIER, aims to organise European robotic educational and entertaining events, to promote a dissemination of science and technology among young people and general public in Europe. Based on the same concept, these events will be publicly launched in October 05, thanks to websites and public events across Europe, and will have their conclusion during European Science Week 2006. Youth and Science are the core actors of the project. Three main events will be organised: Eurobot Junior contest (8/18; Belgium), Eurobot contest (17/27; Italy) and the Awards ceremony (Czech Republic). To be able to participate to the contest, the students will have to create their robot in an educative team process, during the school year, in compliance with the annual rules of the contests. Over 13 months (Jan 06 / Jan 07), a polyvalent team of 5 partners, supported by their partners from Eurobot association (13 national committees) will master the events, from rules writing to general management, attracting around 6000 participants from 28 countries, and gathering a large public (estimation: 40 000 visitors) to the exhibitions. These events will take place in scientific festivals aimed at general public, those programs including robotics contests, industries demonstrations, public workshops, exhibitions, conferences, science exposures?Activities will be organised to promote events across Europe, to maximize the participations (countries, teams) to these events, to develop experience exchanges and establish contacts, as well as the involvement of European medias for dissemination among the general public. Indeed, EUROBOT 2006 events are innovative and concrete methods of promoting sciences for the young public, with a healthy balance between science, technology, education, competition and fun. From past experiences, organisers noticed that it reinforces interest of youth for scientific careers and of general public for science.
