Hello good morning:
We are almost ready for the 23rd edition of the National Robotics Festival
- Portugal - FNR’2023 event.
We are pleased to address this invitation to invite you to participate in
the 2023 Portuguese Robotics Open (FNR'2023) which is promoted by the
Polytechnic Institute of Tomar (IPT) and the Portuguese Robotics Society
(SPR) and which will take place at the Municipal Pavilion of Tomar, from
April 28 to 30, 2023.

Dear everyone,
as many of you have already read, there will be again no central German
Open this year. To provide a reasonable alternative, the SPL and
Humanoid League joined together again to organize a next version of the
GORE (https://gore-event.github.io/).
The event will take place in Hamburg at the DESY
(https://www.desy.de/research/cooperations__institutes/cfel/index_eng.html)
between the 25.04. and 30.04.23. The setup days will be on the 25th and
26th and the competition days from the 27th to the 30th of April. To get
a better feeling about the size of the event, we would like to ask if
you and your team would like to participate?
We expect the participation to cost about 200€ per team plus 75€ per
team member, we will let you know the exact numbers as soon as we have
them, and it is likely to become less again. If you are interested in
participating in the GORE 2023, send a reply to
gore.organisation(a)gmail.com containing:
- Your team's name
- Your teams league (SPL or Humanoid)
- An approximate count of how many people you will bring?
Please send your replies by February 27th, so that we can plan better.
You will receive further information via upcoming newsletter.
See you soon. The GORE 2023 organizing committee.
Arne, Jasper, Jörn and Patrick

The 26th RoboCup International Symposium will be held on *10 July 2023*, in
conjunction with RoboCup 2023 (July 4 to 10, 2023) in Bordeaux, France.
We are looking for submissions of papers reporting innovative and original
research with relevance to areas of robotics and artificial intelligence. A
full list of topics welcomed to this year's symposium can be found below.
Within the described scope of topics, we also encourage submissions of
high-quality overview articles, papers describing real-world research, and
papers reporting theoretical results. Researchers are invited to submit
their work independently of whether they participate in the RoboCup
competitions or have a RoboCup team.
The symposium is planned to be held in person in Bordeaux, France. However,
a hybrid version will be evaluated in case circumstances should require it.
In addition to the *regular track* with regular research papers, the
*development
track* encourages reports on innovative hardware developments, software
frameworks, and open-source releases of software components. A review of
papers describing these contributions will be based on technical aspects
and benefits to the practice of communities specifically working in RoboCup.
*Submission deadline:* April 16, 2023
