I encourage you to attend and participate in an active way in these Panel Session.

4) SESSIONS ON CONTROL EDUCATION DURING THE IFAC 2017 WORLD CONGRESS

We have three regular sessions. It means that 18 papers directly related with Control Education will be presented in the World Congress. Here you will find the schedule of the sessions:

  • Control Education II. Session ThP19 Thursday 16:00-18:00, Room Gavarnie

In addition the "Control Education Demonstrators" has 15 papers. It will be held Wednesday from 13:30 to 18:00 in the Haandball (WeM33 session). I think that we have had a very positive response to this initiative.

That is all for the moment.

All the best,
