Events

Join us for the first edition of AI, Data and Robotics Forum (ADRF) on November 8-9, where we'll bring together industry leaders, researchers, policymakers, and thought-provoking speakers to inspire and shape the future of AI, Data, and Robotics in Europe. This must-attend event, organized by the AI, Data and Robotics Association (Adra), will be a fully hybrid experience, combining the best of in-person and virtual interactions.

The KT4Democracy.eu project is an initiative which delves into the potential of contemporary technologies such as Artificial Intelligence and Big Data in bolstering democratic processes and fostering enhanced civic engagement. They will host a webinar on the 9th of October titled 'Examining the Impacts and Implications of AI & Big Data in Enhancing Inclusive Civic Participation.' Register now!

Adra produced a document entitled “Strategic orientation towards an AI, Data, Robotics roadmap 2025-2027” (aka Adra 10-pager) to help identify the principle challenges and objectives for the future SRIDA. Feedback has been collected and a deep-dive workshop was held to converge upon the table of contents of the future SRIDA and its priorities, as well as identify persons that will actively contribute to the writing, and the process of moving forward.

This workshop aims to kick off the dialogue and develop a joint approach in the cross-sectoral collaboration in the field of AI and data for road transport. Actors from the stakeholder field are invited to actively contribute to the discussion, explore potential acceleration of the digital transition, and jointly define areas of synergies, with domain specific applications.

Adra-e is inviting all actors involved in AI, Data and Robotics communities to an online 3 days event taking place from 29th to 31st March 2023. The overarching theme of the 3 days event is: “How the combination of AI, Big Data and Robotics can accelerate the reduction of CO2 emissions by 2030, to achieve the objective of climate neutrality in Europe in 2050?”

The European Robotics Forum (ERF) covers all aspects and current themes related to the field of robotics. Researchers, engineers, managers, and a growing number of entrepreneurs, businesspeople, and public funding officers from all over Europe come together to discuss technology push and market pull and how innovation in robotics and robotics-related AI can be accelerated.

 

Adra session on Grand Challenges at the Cross-Roads of AI, Data and Robotics

An effective European AI, Data and Robotics ecosystem is a necessity to provide a powerful response to many of the challenges Europe and...

Cross-community workshops are designed to stimulate exchange between stakeholder communities (e.g., AI, Data Robotics as well as industrial R&I and academia). They are organized on topics where there is clear mutual benefit, but sustainable collaboration isn't likely to emerge naturally. Reason for this may be various, but include little to no shared meeting opportunities, or cultural differences. In this case, some additional effort is necessary to overcome hurdles and stimulate sustainable exchange between respective stakeholder communities. Cross-community workshops are organized with...

The first edition of the AI, Data and Robotics community Event, gathered a number of (CSA) projects that are active in mobilizing the ADR community, to get to know one another, and identify synergies and opportunities for collaboration.

To this end, the day was dived in two parts. In the morning, each project shortly presented itself, the principle objectives and achievements. The afternoon session was devoted to discuss what are blocking factors and challenges to overcome for community convergence.

Presentations from the projects attending are available below:

Artificial intelligence, data and robotics are at the core of the ongoing digital transformation of Europe. Over the last years, Europe has increased its effort to drive innovation, acceptance and uptake of these technologies through the Horizon Europe programme. With more than 40 newly funded projects under the programme, Europe made large-scale investments in R&I for the development and deployment of trustworthy, safe and robust AI, Data and Robotics, compatible with EU values and regulations.

The Adra-e and AI4Europe Coordination and Support Actions (CSAs) are co-organising this webinar...

The first Adra-e webinar managed to gather online more than 40 attendees spanning Research & Academia, Large enterprises, SMEs and Start-ups to hear from renowed experts and practitioners about the future of Artificial Intelligence, Data and Robotics (ADR) and have a clear understanding of the ADR ecosystem including EU ambitions and expectations.
