ECER 2026

The European Conference on Educational Robotics (ECER) is an international scientific conference for students. Researchers present their findings in engaging talks, show their robots live, and partake as judges in exciting robot competitions. Participating teams give scientific talks about their robots, projects and experiences in English. The aim of the conference is to engage students in robotics and science.

Tournament

Botball - Regular Team

Register as a regular team if you are not part of our sponsoring program for certain Austrian technical high schools. In addition each participant needs an individual registration, which can be added to the order as a separate product, or ordered separately.

 

The registration DOES NOT include the purchase of Botball 2026 equipment (robotics kits or game table parts), which have to be ordered directly from KIPR. Please contact us at ecer@pria.at if you have questions.

Open

The Open tournament uses the same game board as Botball, but is not restricted regarding hardware. It is perfect for those that already have robot hardware, or want to do their own electronics and hardware. In addition each participant needs an individual registration, which can be added to the order as a separate product, or ordered separately.

 

The lack of hardware restriction is not intended to encourage the use of expensive high-end hardware but enable an affordable entry to ECER.

Junior Botball Challenge

The Junior Botball Challenge is aimed at students in middle school and younger and offers robotics exercises of varying difficulty that can be solved over the course of a single day (this year, Thursday April 16). Small prizes are awarded for each solved exercise, so that no one leaves without their moment of success. In addition we recommend an individual registration for each participant, so that they can have personalized name badges. These can be added to the order as a separate product, or ordered separately.
