The ERC Space and Robotics Event is the largest international robotics and space competition in Europe. University teams from around the world build their own Martian robots, and then take part in competitions similar to the tasks performed by rovers on the surfaces of Mars and the Moon.

Team IUT Mars Rover aims to raise the red and green flag of our country high on international grounds and earn acknowledgment through sheer excellence in our performance and effort. In the process, it aims to be a role model for the young minds of our country to encourage them to join the promising and growing sector of Planetary Robotics. The team believes that through teamwork and perseverance, it is possible to exceed expectations and attain success. Therefore, IUT Mars Rover values team building as well as unity in thought and goal over anything else. The team, with high enthusiasm and hope, looks forward to giving the best in the competition.
