ACE 2013
Advances in Control Education
28-30 August 2013
ACE 2013 - the tenth IFAC Symposium on Advances in Control Education - will provide an innovative forum at which researchers and practitioners in control education will present their latest research, results and ideas.
ACE 2013 also aims to spread new knowledge and alternative approaches in education. International co-operation, especially between academia and industry, in control engineering education will be emphasised.
The official language of the symposium will be English.
Special themes and topics
We would like to encourage special sessions and papers in the areas of independent learning, web laboratories, the use of the internet in learning and teaching, and sharing learning and teaching resources.
We are also encouraging delegates to think beyond the normal 20 minute presentation format. Contact us to discuss alternatives that would be more appropriate for your proposed contribution.
