HCST Medical Robotics

March 23rd - 25th, 2015 Tel Aviv, Dan Panorama hotel, Ganei Yehouda room

Meet Israeli and French experts in the field of medical robotics and find partners for the HSCT Call for Proposal. The French-Israeli High Council for Science and Technology (HCST) has chosen medical robotics as a priority research topic for 2016-2017. In accordance with this decision, three research projects will benefit from a financial support of up to 80.000€ yearly over a period of 2 years. To launch the call for proposals, the Israeli Ministry of Science, Technology and Space, together with the French Embassy in Israel and Business France have organized a scientific and industrial symposium to be held in Tel Aviv from the 23rd to the 24th of March 2015, at Dan Panorama Hotel Tel Aviv, Ganei Yehudah room. This symposium will gather both scientists and startups to discuss opportunities for future collaborations between France and Israel in the field of medical robotics, in the hope of leading to partnerships between French and Israeli bodies and allow them to apply for the calls for proposals of the HCST and the FIRAD. Participants will have the opportunity to attend a scientific and industrial symposium, individual meetings, a networking reception, as well as guided tours in well-known Israeli research centers. We expect this symposium to: - Deliver the latest on medical robotics research in France and Israel, in order to highlight prospective fields of scientific research as well as industrial and commercial developments - Enable scientists from both countries to meet and encourage them to build up common projects that could be submitted to the HSCT program and to European funding agencies. French participants will also be able to attend MEDinISRAEL 2015.
