About RAAD 2026
The 35th International Conference on Robotics in Alpe-Adria-Danube Region, RAAD 2026, will be held 17 – 19, June 2026 in Bratislava, Slovakia.
The RAAD conference cordially invites all the research scientists, industrial engineers and students working in robotic technology to present and discuss their cutting/edge innovations, ideas and recent research achievements. This yet traditional 35th meeting brings together three generations of researchers from the countries of the Alpe-Adria-Danube region and other partners over the world provides the excellent opportunity to shear experiences by form of friendly discussions and open, inspiring insights into the future robotics especially for young scientists.
Joint in Bratislava for three days proposes the wide – range scientific program that consists of plenary and keynote lectures.
