Another memorable year with Robotex Cyprus! Robotex July 6, 2026 12:48 pm Another memorable year with Robotex Cyprus! ECECT.eu was delighted to support Robotex Cyprus 2026, contributing to one of Cyprus’ largest celebrations of educational robotics, STEM and innovation. Throughout the event, our team welcomed students, educators, families, and technology enthusiasts to our booth, where we showcased EU-funded projects, promoted digital skills and lifelong learning, and demonstrated how emerging technologies can enhance education and help tackle real-world challenges. We also had the pleasure of meeting Nathan Metsälä, CEO of Robotex International, and exchanging ideas on the importance of STEM education, innovation, and international collaboration. We are also proud of ECECT members who volunteer as judges across several competitions, helping evaluate participants while encouraging creativity, teamwork, and technical excellence. Robotex is much more than a competition; it is a meeting point where education, research, technology, and collaboration come together to inspire the next generation!  A sincere thank you to the organizers, Cyprus Computer Society, co-organizers, Πανεπιστήμιο Κύπρου | University Of Cyprus, IET Cyprus Local Network, Οργανισμός Νεολαίας Κύπρου / Youth Board of Cyprus, volunteers, coaches, judges, sponsors, supporters, and every participant who contributed to another outstanding event. We are grateful to have been part of this incredible community and look forward to supporting future editions.

The DIGIFABS consortium is proud to announce the launch of its first project bulletin, marking the start of a bi-annual digital series designed to keep stakeholders informed about the project’s activities and progress. The inaugural issue introduces DIGIFABS, its objectives, and the critical needs it seeks to address. It also includes a report from the first consortium meeting and an update on initial research. Each partner’s role will be highlighted throughout the project, with Preneurz responsible for compiling the bulletins and Momentum overseeing the design and distribution. The bulletin will reach its target audience of educators and SMEs in the food and beverage sector through distribution by each consortium partner to their networks. Find the Bulletin here: https://digifabs.eu/download/613/?tmstv=1721307197 At the core of DIGIFABS is the Project Management Group (PMG), a key decision-making body led by Dominik Lappenküpper of FH Munster, consisting of representatives from all consortium partners. The PMG meets monthly to track progress, address challenges, and plan upcoming activities. Their work has been critical in driving timely reporting, collaborative problem-solving, and ensuring deliverables are met on schedule and within budget. In the project’s early stages, the PMG has overseen the development of key strategy documents, the establishment of the DIGIFABS brand identity, and the creation of branded templates. The group has also successfully launched the project website, social media channels, and an extensive literature review, alongside building a stakeholder database. Looking ahead, the PMG is preparing to conduct field-based research with key target groups of educators and SMEs, and encourages stakeholders to subscribe to the bi-annual bulletin to stay informed about the project’s future developments.
