What is being recognised?

The session focuses on two key topics:

• Robots for Sustainability: How robots are used/deployed to support sustainability (e.g., climate action, recycling, waste reduction, social impact).
• Sustainability of Robots: How robots themselves are designed, manufactured, used and handled at end-of-life in a sustainable way.

There will be no single winner. Instead, a shortlist of candidates will be selected and acknowledged for their sustainability journey.

Who can apply?

Eligible applicants include organisations, teams and individuals from the EU and associated countries, including:

• SMEs & start-ups
• EU-funded projects
• Research organisations
• Large industry
• End-users

Applicants should demonstrate a clear sustainability commitment—either by developing or using robots for sustainability, improving the sustainability of robotics production/use, or driving sustainability initiatives within the robotics ecosystem.

Why particpate?

Shortlisted candidates will:

• Present their work at an ERF workshop, gaining visibility among the ERF audience (over 1,000+ robotics and AI stakeholders).
• Receive extended coverage via ERF channels (newsletter/social media).
• Receive a certificate at the euRobotics awards ceremony on 25 March 2026.
• Get feedback from the screening committee (all qualified entrants).
