This paper reports a recently started project for a 2‐m diameter robotic telescope dedicated to astronomy and education. After a brief recall of SAGAM‐REOSC background in this domain, the project will be presented with more details on the telescope optics, mount and control system, the dome, the coating chamber and the weather station.
