France Télévisions was the host for this year’s EBU Technical Assembly, the annual gathering of technology leaders from public service media organisations in Europe. The participants gathered on 9 and 10 June in Montpellier for the event, which was taking place in person again for the first time since the start of the COVID pandemic.

Robin Ribback has been Head of Innovation & Research at SWISS TXT since 2016. He was elected on to the EBU Technical Committee as the SRG representative and will take over from Thomas Saner in this role. Robin Ribback is also, among other things, an active member of the EBU’s Broadcast Technologies Futures Group and the Topic Leader responsible for Collaborative Developments & Accessibility in the TLO group.

For several years now, SWISS TXT has played an active role on a number of EU research and innovation projects in the context of Horizon2020. You can find an overview of current research and innovation projects on our website.  

Robin Ribback says of his election to the EBU Technical Committee: “I am very much looking forward to this new mandate which will help to promote and develop technological matters in close cooperation with SRG’s Enterprise Units and affiliated companies. My focus will be on applying the ‘co-creation*’ method.”
