Call for “IFR’s Women in Robotics: 10 Women Shaping the Future of Robotics in 2025” is now open
IFR would like to highlight and honor Women in Robotics - in particular women in the robotics industry - and give them more visibility. We will select a list of 10 women to officially award as “IFR's Women in Robotics: 10 Women Shaping the Future of Robotics” in 2025.
IFR decided to give women in robotics more visibility and acknowledgment. This should inspire girls and young women to pursue a career in STEM subjects or robotics and will also help companies to reach gender equality and overcome shortage of staff.
