euROBIN — European ROBotics and AI Network
Three published figures do not agree, and this entry settles none of them. Budget: EUR 11.5M of EU contribution (CORDIS) against EUR 12.5M announced by DLR, which states the sum covers the EU and Switzerland — EPFL and ETH Zurich sit in the consortium with zero EU contribution. End date: 31 December 2026 (CORDIS, which reflects amendments) against 30 June 2026 (DLR). Partner count: 28 signatory organisations plus 2 non-signatory partners at CORDIS, against 31 partners in 14 countries announced by DLR and by the Commission; CORDIS records one participation as ended (ABB), which may or may not explain the gap of one.

What it left behindThe euROBIN coopetitions — annual events where a team scores both for its own robot and for the software modules other teams reuse — and EuroCore, the shared marketplace where those modules are deposited. The first coopetition ran in Nancy on 25-28 November 2024 across three domains: circular-economy manufacturing, personal robots and outdoor robots.
