Dear RoboCup Community,

We invite you to the *13th Robotic Hamburg Open Workshop (RoHOW)*, hosted by team HULKs at the Hamburg University of Technology (TUHH) from *November 27 to November 29, 2026*.

RoHOW is our annual workshop for robot soccer teams to share insights, solve technical challenges, and build connections.

*An Open Space Format* The participants shape the schedule. Bring your own topics, lead sessions, and exchange ideas on league development, software, or hardware. We take care of rooms, scheduling, and drinks. You bring the content.

*All Robot Soccer Leagues Welcome* With the transition to the *Humanoid Soccer League (HSL)*, we warmly invite every HSL team to join us. We also invite teams from *all other robot soccer leagues* to take part. RoHOW is an open forum for the entire robot soccer community to collaborate.

*Remote Participation* Remote attendance went well last year, and we are improving the stream quality this time around. We will stream the main talks for remote attendees. To keep the open exchange natural, informal discussion circles and couch sessions will remain in person.

*Event Details* • *Dates:* November 27 to November 29, 2026 • *Location:* Hamburg University of Technology (TUHH), Hamburg, Germany • *Catering Included:* Drinks throughout the weekend, dinner on Friday, plus breakfast on Saturday and Sunday. *Ticket Options* • *Standard Ticket (75€):* For private individuals. Includes a payment receipt. • *Business Ticket (120€):* For university or company billing. Includes an invoice issued before the event. We know ticket prices are higher this year. The event is not-for-profit, and the higher rates reflect rising venue costs and lower sponsor support.
