Scope of the workshop

The Organizing Committee invites you to participate in the 2nd IFAC Workshop on Aerospace Control Education, scheduled to take place in Bertinoro, Italy, from July 22nd to 24th, 2024. This event is endorsed by IFAC, the International Federation of Automatic Control and sponsored by IFAC TC 7.3 on Aerospace, with further co-sponsorship from IFAC TC 9.4 on Control Education.


The workshop aims at bringing together an international community of educators, researchers and practitioners of aerospace engineering to discuss new courses, methodologies and tools specifically dedicated to teaching automatic controls in aerospace engineering. Scientists and engineers from industry, research institutes and universities involved in aerospace control education are invited to attend the Workshop and to contribute to the scientific program.


WACE 2024 will be a hybrid event, with support for virtual participation.

Invited sessions

Invited session proposals are solicited in all of the topic areas of the conference as well as in new or emerging technical areas. Papers in an invited session should form a cohesive focus on the relevant topic. Inclusion of a reasonable diversity of viewpoints is encouraged.

Specifically, the Workshop aims at showcasing academic and industrial tools suitable for aerospace education, therefore invited sessions dealing with demonstrations of hardware and software tools are welcome.

The session proposal should include a one- to two-page document describing the motivation and relevance of the proposed session. The document should also include session organizer contact information and provide a few sentences that describe each invited paper. On submission of the invited session proposal the organizer will receive a session code to be sent to each contributor for the submission of the individual papers.
