Impressions from the Medical Robotics Week & CURAC 2023
From 22 to 26 August 2023, 140 participants heard almost 60 talks on three different streams: Medical Robotics Week workshops, the CURAC 2023 conference, and the Innovation Booster Robotics. 11 well-known key note speakers from all over the world contributed great insights into their research.
The visionary event took place in the equally visionary Biozentrum of the University of Basel, the appropriate venue for this endeavor. In five booths, the main sponsors Stäubli, Beckhoff, BHS Technologies, and Fraunhofer, as well as the conference organizer presented their visions for better healthcare through technological innovation.
On Thursday, the participants had the opportunity to exchange ideas over a BBQ in the evening. The award ceremony and the conference dinner took place on Friday at Hotel Kraft in Basel.
