 ===== Become a sponsor =====

Currently we're looking for sponsors to our **__new__ SocRob @Home** team. If you're interested in sponsoring an **actual, challenging and novel team project with international exposure that approaches both current state-of-art concepts and manages to implement it in a real robots and scenarios**, please check our **sponsorship packages** bellow or ask us for a custom one.

Aside all exposure that this project offers at an international level, it is carried out by a** team of professionals and students with real expertise on the robotics field**, focused on both academic research and robotics competitive level. 

The team activities are partially supported by public funds from research projects. Nevertheless, several expenses are hard to justify under current limitations to the utilization of public funding for research. Therefore, sponsorship is especially important for **team travelling**  (to participate in robot competitions) and **maintenance costs**. Any extra funding that we can use to improve the quality of the equipment used will certainly be essential to ensure more competitive participations that will expose the sponsor and Portugal abroad.
 
__**Platinum Sponsorship Package**__ is an exclusive package for **one major sponsor** to which we could count as both our **best benefactor** and as a **partner**. This sponsorship would grant him an **exclusive** and **privileged** status among all other sponsors. Terms and conditions are to be discussed beforehand.

Please contact us by __**socrob-info (AT) isr.ist.utl.pt**__ if you are interested to sponsor us.
