Symposia
An IFAC Symposium is a technical meeting covering a well defined theme of Control Engineering. Symposia on the same subject are arranged as a regular series, usually on a triennial basis. They are organized by a host country National Member Organisation (NMO) and are scientifically assisted by those IFAC Technical Committees (TCs) which take an active interest in the selected topics of the meeting. Attendance usually ranges between 100 and 500 participants. IFAC maintains a Masterplan for future symposia activities, as described in the Organizer Guide.
