As members of the EDIH Madrid Region we have received a request from the coordinators to disseminate the opportunity for Spanish companies to participate in MWC23 Shanghai.

The selected companies will have an exhibition space in a global event where, in addition, they will be able to participate in different sessions and conferences to expand their business opportunities. The mission is free of charge for the participating companies and, in addition, they may receive a grant of up to €1,000 for travel and accommodation expenses (50% co-financing).

The call for applications is

On 22 March, the conference La robótica inteligente en los retos de salud y asistenciales (Intelligent robotics in the challenges of health and care) will take place. The opening will be carried out by Ana Isabel Cremades Rodríguez, General Director of Research and Technological Innovation of the Community of Madrid and Paloma Díaz, Director of the Polytechnic School, UC3M. The full-day conference includes a morning part related to these challenges in the framework of our programme (RoboCity2030-DIH-CM) and in the afternoon it will deal with the symmetric human-robot interaction in

On 13 February, on the occasion of the RoboCity2030-DIH-CM management committee meeting, a tribute was paid to professors Rafael Aracil (UPM) and Manuel Armada (CSIC). In this tribute, a plaque was presented as a sign of admiration for their professional career and gratitude for their involvement in the programme since its inception. The plaque was collected by Rafael Aracil and Pablo Gonzalez (on behalf of Manuel Armada, who was unable to attend the event).

Thanks to previous contacts and as an activity coordinated by the DIH Madrid Robotics Digital Innovation Hub (RoboCity2030) in which UC3M and CAR (UPM-CSIC) have participated, a group of researchers from the CSIC group have gone to Lithuania to collaborate with the Lithuanian DIH Agrifood.
