Athens to Host the European Robotics Forum 2028 (ERF2028) with the Strategic Support of CONVIN
Athens, 12 February 2026
Athens has been selected to host the European Robotics Forum 2028 (ERF 2028), Europe’s leading robotics and artificial intelligence conference, marking a major international distinction for Greece’s scientific and innovation ecosystem.
The event, organized under the umbrella of the European robotics association euRobotics, brings together more than 1,500 researchers, engineers, industry leaders, policymakers, and technology innovators from across Europe each year. ERF serves as a key platform for collaboration and dialogue on the future of robotics, artificial intelligence, and advanced manufacturing technologies.
The successful Greek bid was led by CONVIN and representatives of the Laboratory for Manufacturing Systems & Automation of the University of Patras, highlighting the country’s growing role as a dynamic technology and research hub. Hosting ERF 2028 is expected to strengthen international scientific collaboration, promote innovation, and generate significant economic and reputational benefits for Athens and Greece.
Greece’s selection reflects the country’s steady development in high-technology sectors, its strong academic community, and an expanding ecosystem of research centers, startups, and multinational technology investments positioning the nation as an emerging innovation hub in Southeast Europe.
The organization and strategic delivery of the congress will be supported by CONVIN, whose experienced team contributes extensive expertise in international conference management, stakeholder engagement, and large-scale scientific events.
ERF 2028 will take place in Athens in March 2028, bringing Europe’s robotics community together in a city that combines scientific excellence, innovation potential, and global accessibility.
