&lt;p&gt;The 37th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (EMBS) will take place in Milano, Italy, in the period August 25th-29th, 2015. It will be a remarkable event as it is the first time that Italy will host a conference of the world’s largest member-based scientific Society in Biomedical Engineering (BME): at the same time, it will be a unique opportunity to come in touch with the actual BME activities all over the world.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Conference will take place in MiCo – Milano Congressi, recently rebuilt (2011) and located in downtown Milano. It is one of the largest conference facilities in Europe and worldwide, catering for up to 18,000 people in 70 or so fully appointed conference rooms.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Robotic surgery is one of the most appealing fields of modern  robotics. With over 2 decades history, more than 2.000 systems installed  worldwide and over 200.000 interventions conducted per annum; the field  of robotic surgery is considered well-established. Despite these  impressive figures and increasing popularity in research labs all over  the world, the list of technological advances that made it into the  operating room (OR) during this last decade is fairly limited. Long  expected techniques such as 3D reconstruction, motion compensation,  virtual guidance, haptic feedback, under study in many labs all over the  planet did not make their appearance into the market yet.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This workshop seeks to give a clear view on the status and recent  trends of abovementioned assistive surgical robotic technologies and  aims to propose concrete measures to achieve a critical mass in research  and innovation in this field. In fact, regardless of its popularity,  the share of European technology used in clinical practice remains  disproportionally small, with limited signs of improvement on the  horizon. The workshop will continue the discussion started at ERF in  Lyon and at ICRA in Karlsruhe and will attempt to identify the steps  necessary to stimulate cooperation among the projects in robotic surgery  and the best approach to take advantage of the supposed attention of  Horizon2020 to innovation.&lt;/p&gt;
