CYBATHLON Series

Event

Driving forward the worldwide scientific exchange and promoting the discussion about disabilities and assistive technologies.

Worldwide scientific Exchange

The CYBATHLON Series drive the worldwide scientific exchange and significantly promotes the discussion about disabilities and assistive technologies. Each CYBATHLON Series focuses on one of the CYBATHLON disciplines and is organised in cooperation with universities and other partners worldwide. Accordingly, the discipline of the respective CYBATHLON Series will also be part of the research of this university. Thus, the focus of this event will be on the latest technologies that specifically support people with disabilities in solving the tasks in this discipline.

Symposium

To offer technology developers and researchers the opportunity to showcase their research and development, an integrated symposium will be organised by the hosting university as part of the CYBATHLON Series. The symposium serves as an international platform for the hosting university along with the participating teams and researchers from universities or industries around the world.
