ROSCon Global 2026 Logo + Diversity Scholarships
Hi Everyone,
It is my pleasure to announce that we have released the artwork for ROSCon Global 2026 in Toronto, Canada on 2026-09-22T07:00:00Z→2026-09-24T07:00:00Z. Since we’re planning to hold at least nine regional ROSCons this year (Korea, Japan, China, India, Germany, France, Croatia, United Kingdom, Spain) and potentially more, we thought it was time to add “Global” to the name of our world-wide ROSCon event.
We’re putting the finishing touches on our event information so stay on the lookout for the ROSCon Global call for proposals and our sponsor prospectus which should drop in the next few weeks.
ROSCon Global Diversity Scholarship
The ROSCon Global 2026 organizing committee aims for ROSCon Global to represent our worldwide ROS community. We strive to ensure that ROSCon is as open and accessible as possible and reflects our world-wide developer community.
Whoever you are, whatever you do, and wherever you do it, if you’re interested in ROS, then we want you to join us at ROSCon Global. To help reduce financial barriers to conference attendance, the ROSCon Global Executive Committee is offering a limited number of scholarships to members of traditionally underrepresented groups in the robotics community.
Thanks to the support of the program’s sponsors, each scholarship includes:
- One complimentary conference registration.
- Four nights’ hotel accommodation.
- A travel stipend
All other expenses (including any visa requirements) will be the responsibility of the participant.
Eligibility
We invite applications from members of groups that have been traditionally underrepresented in the robotics community, including but not limited to: women, people in LGBTQIA+ communities, people with disabilities, people from racial and/or ethnic minorities in the robotics community, and people from developing nations who may not otherwise be able to attend ROSCon Global. Previous ROSCon Global Diversity Scholarship recipients are not eligible to re-apply.
How To Apply
To apply for the ROSCon Diversity Scholarship interested applicants should use the link on the ROSCon website. Scholarship applications are due by 2026-03-22T07:00:00Z and we will notify applicants of their acceptance status by 2026-04-17T07:00:00Z. Questions and concerns can be directed to diversity scholars chairs Karina Puente and @alan-sanchez.
We recommend you take the time to completely and thoughtfully complete the scholarship application using your own words. We strongly discourage the use of large language models to generate the text of your scholarship application.
