The international WRO final is coming to Dortmund -
because of the pandemic not before 2022!
from 17 - 19 November 2022 the Dortmund Exhibition Centre (Messe Dortmund) will host the WRO World Final
International WRO Final in 2022
Due to the corona pandemic, the WRO World Final in Germany will be postponed by one year, because we would very much
like to organize an event with children and young people from the 80 WRO countries. We would like to thank our partners
who support the postponement by one year.
Preparations for the actual event will be suspended until the summer of 2021, and other activities, such as the promotion
of schools for the sustainable expansion of the WRO in Germany, will continue as planned. In general, we are happy about
every idea and every partner who would like to be part of the 2022 event and, for example, would like to help shape an
interesting STEM framework program.
Please contact us directly by mail
or support us with a donation or
sponsoring membership (in German).
Together we will make robot history!
The International Final
The WRO World Final takes place in a different country every year. The World Final brings together
the best 500 teams from over 80 countries in a three-day event and pits them against each other
in various competitive disciplines. In total we expect about 3,000 international guests in Dortmund.
In addition to the competition, we will offer an exciting STEM supporting programme for the international
and numerous German guests. Anyone wishing to take part is cordially invited.
Our partners
We are pleased that numerous partners have already supported us during the application period and are now involved in the preparation and implementation. You can view the logos of our partners on this page in German.

The next highlight
Within the last years the World Robot Olympiad in Germany has become one of the biggest student
competitions in the field of robotics. We see the International Final as a new highlight to attract even more attention.
On the day of the opening of the World Final in 2022 (17.11.2022) our club also celebrates its 11th birthday :)
