We are excited to announce the opening of applications for the Robotics and Automation Society (RAS) Sustainability Grant, aimed at empowering our members to democratize their actions and share knowledge on sustainable practices in robotics.
This grant supports initiatives such as documenting best practices, creating tutorials, and other activities that promote sustainability within the Robotics and Automation community. Topics may range from scientific activities that participate in designing robotics and automation systems for environmental sustainability to testimonials of better practices for organizing scientific events in robotics and automation in a more sustainable manner.
The RAS Sustainability Grant offers a unique opportunity to contribute to the collective knowledge and practices that drive sustainable change. By sharing your expertise and experiences, you can help others adopt effective strategies and make a positive impact on the environment.
