On July 14 and 15 2025 the LARSyS community will gather onde again, this time at Pavilhão de Portugal.
Check the programme here. Here’s the LARSyS Coordinator’s words to the community:
Dear LARSyS Community,
LARSyS is an Associated Laboratory that brings together more than 400 researchers, including over 200 doctoral students, from four R&D centres: ISR-Lisboa, IN+, ITI, and MARETEC. LARSyS uniquely combines expertise across engineering, technology and systems, while collaborating with designers and social scientists at the intersections of arts and humanities. Our mission also includes promoting a vibrant scientific culture among researchers, students, and all those interested in exploring and shaping the future of Robotics and Engineering Systems.
It is time once again for the LARSyS Annual Meeting. In this vibrant event, we can learn more about the ongoing research in our community, identify common points of interest with other researchers and students and engage in interdisciplinary debates concerning current and future research challenges across various sectors.
As in previous editions, LARSyS 2025 will be anchored by three main pillars: a rich and diverse set of research pitches from our students and researchers; an overview of the work carried out within our Thematic Lines (OCEANS, URBAN, AIR, LIFE, and INTERACTION); and the participation of external stakeholders, from academia and industry, who will not only inspire our thoughts but highlight opportunities for research and collaboration.
And of course, the event is also an opportunity to socialise, have fun and get to know more people in the LARSyS community.
This year, we celebrate the result of the FCT Scientific Evaluation, which recognised LARSyS again as an EXCELLENT institution, a status we have consistently achieved since our foundation. This recognition reflects the outstanding work of our entire community: research units, group leaders, thematic line coordinators, researchers, students and staff. We also made progress in the LARSyS tenure-track careers, leveraged by the
FCT-Tenure Program, part of LARSyS’ commitment towards the promotion of scientific employment.
The LARSyS Annual Meeting is a unique moment to share and spark new, inspiring ideas and to launch and consolidate interdisciplinary bridges to address today’s societal challenges. A significant part of the LARSyS vision and ambition stems from the rich cross-disciplinary exchange between our researchers and external partners.
We thank all LARSyS community members for their effort, creativity, and progress over the last year. The Annual Meeting offers just a glimpse of your collective achievements. We hope you will find the program exciting and make the best use of this opportunity to interact with the LARSyS community members.
Inspire and be inspired! Enjoy the meeting and share your ideas!
