To Whom It May Concern,

We are pleased to invite you to the ATRACT Project Engagement Workshop 2025. The ATRACT project aims to develop a trustworthy autonomous robotic (drone) system to support battlefield triage. The project (https://atracts.github.io/) is funded by UKRI-EPSRC via National Security and Defence sandpit. Now that we have passed the halfway stage, we are eager to engage with stakeholders, experts, and interested parties across relevant fields. The workshop will provide an opportunity to: 1) Share insights into the project's progress and key developments, 2) Gather valuable feedback to refine and enhance our approach, and 3) Foster discussions on challenges, opportunities, and potential collaborations. It will be a ‘closed’ event with attendance by invitation only. Your expertise and input would be greatly valued. We will share the agenda in due course. Please let us know if you would be interested in participating (RSVP to Prof Ardhendu Behera, beheraa@edgehill.ac.uk). Further information will be circulated closer to the date. Yours faithfully, ATRACT Team
