Welcome Message

to EUROBOT 2008 final in Heidelberg, Germany, 21st – 25th May 2008.

I am very happy to take over the patronage for EUROBOT 2008 final.

Our economies can only hold their position in relation to rising nations from the Far East if our enterprises remain innovation leaders.

The most important capital, which can be used in this global technology competition, is the authority and the commitment of highly qualified employees.

The competition "EUROBOT" is an excellent action, in order to inspire young people towards technology and to motivate them for careers as Engineers and Scientists.

The research contract "Mission to Mars", with the message "Find proofs of life and bring them to Earth...for analysis" shows which challenges await us in the future.

I thank the organisers, SRH Hochschule Heidelberg, Planète Sciences, EUROBOT Association as well as the host city Heidelberg for its commitment and wish to the teams a good preparation and exciting matches.
