Modern robot applications offer an enormous potential for the economy and society. For this reason the European Union decided, to subsidize the transfer of know-how between research institutions and industry and thus to strengthen it. As a leading expert in automation, SCHUNK already participated in setting up the EU project ECHORD (European Clearing House for Open Robotics Development). Subsidized project groups also receive innovative automation components from SCHUNK at very affordable prices.

Robot hands, human-robot interfaces, mobile manipulators, linked robots - the main sectors of priority offer a tremendous and creative scope for cutting-edge research projects.

ECHORD is an EU-funded project in the field of robotics, which should strengthen the European-wide cooperation between science and industry. The volume of financial subsidies amounts to a total of 24 million Euros. By the end of 2012, there will be altogether three invitations for proposals, for which European industrial enterprises and research groups may participate and the entry process is relatively easy.
Ideally one to three partners should participate at an individual project and the maximum volume amounts to 300,000 Euro. Up to one third of the subsidy amount can be spent for hardware from the so-called ECHORD fund. With its long lasting research experiences in the main sectors of priority of the funded project, SCHUNK supports the project groups with know-how, but also with hardware. Those who want to profit from ECHORD, may participate at the first invitation of tender beginning December 1, 2009.
