EURON report

In our previous column, we addressed the research coordination activities of the European Robotics Research Network (EURON) (http://www.euron.org) materialized by inviting applications for support in terms of prospective research projects, research ateliers, and special interest groups (SIGs). In this column, we want to emphasize SIGs (http:// www.euron.org/activities/sigs). SIGs are an ad hoc collection of five or more EURON institutions that come together to form a microcommunity to address a specific topic that is of common interest to all SIG members. The initiative to form an SIG lies completely with the members, and they are free to select the topic of their SIG.
