(Apologies for cross-postings.)

Dear all,

We have now an interesting list of participants for the Future of Rescue Simulation workshop.

 https://staff.fnwi.uva.nl/a.visser/activities/FutureOfRescue/

Because there are still 7 positions with a small amount travel support (€ 300) is available (max number of participants is 25), the deadline is extended to December 10th.

The travel support could cover your stay in the Netherlands. The workshop itself has no registration fee.

On behalf of the organization committee,

Arnoud Visser, Universiteit van Amsterdam
Francesco Amigoni, Politecnico di Milano, Italy
Masaru Shimizu, Chukyo University, Aichi, Japan

The workshop is a combination of brainstorming and hacking; lectures and tutorials. The venue has a small lecture room, 7 offices and a common room. We actively promote involvement from all over the world, from participants involved in related initiatives, such as the virtual competition of the DARPA Robotics Challenge, the Japan Virtual Robotics Challenge and the real RoboCup Rescue League.
