The event is organized in collaboration with Odense Robotics and is part of the Cyber Safe Robotics program, which is funded by Industriens Fond.
Please note: unfortunately, we often experience that some people do not show up on the day, and therefore we have introduced a no-show fee of 800 DK which is paid for no-shows or cancellations later than 24 hours before the event. This corresponds to the amount we pay per participant at the course location.
For everyone else, participation is free.
