Pre-Congress Workshops

We are proud to announce the officially selected workshops for the 23rd IFAC World Congress. These workshops represent the vanguard of automatic control, offering participants a unique opportunity to engage with world-class experts on specialized topics. Join us before the main Congress begins to sharpen your skills and gain technical insights that go beyond the standard paper presentations. All Pre-Congress Workshops will be held on Sunday, 23 August 2026.

Because the list of speakers and organizers continues to be updated, it is not included in this preprint. For the most current information, please visit the Congress website. The workshop titles and locations are listed below.
