No less than 6 project representatives presented “IT Future of Cancer (Treatment)” showing the different strands of their research results and how these could be developed and expanded in future initiatives. Finally, last but not least, “The RoboCom++ Project: Rethinking Robotics for the Robot Companion of the Future” showcased how they are working on the final results of their project and how robotics remains an essential research & innovation topic for the years to come. The workshop participants concluded with a discussion on the immediate opportunities for further funding that could be explored in the current and next framework programmes of the European Commission.
