The RoboCup 2009 as a meeting place for experts:
Scientific discourse at International Symposium and Austrian Robotics Summit

The RoboCup is not all competition and fun: its distinctive scientific side is also part of its hallmark. Apart from a number of talks and research demonstrations, two items in particular on the programme form the scientific climax of the event. An international symposium provides experts from all over the world with a platform to present themselves and their research work, and the first-time ever Austrian robotics summit brings together the big domestic research players in the field of robotics.

RoboCup International Symposium

The scientific symposium is a regular fixture at the RoboCup and takes place every year in the supporting programme. Also at the RoboCup 2009 in Graz, 400 international experts will find a stage on which they’re able to present and discuss their scientific findings and research results. The symposium comprises talks from invited guests, papers and poster presentations.

Austrian Robotics Summit

The Austrian robotics summit is celebrating its debut at the RoboCup 2009 and is intended to bring Austrian experts together in the inspiring climate of the robotics world championships. The scientists will introduce their organisations and research work in the field of robotics. Well-known Austrian robotics researchers can take the opportunity to use the RoboCup itself as an international networking service to meet experts from all over the world.
