We invite the PhD students to the summer school on "Optimization-based Control Systems: Theory & Applications" organized by the Horizon Europe project FrontSeat on September 9-13, 2024 in Pisa, Italy. The 5-day summer school will include lectures by renowned speakers, hands-on practical sessions, and a social program. The event is organized by the University of Pisa. There are no registration fees. The registration form and current information are available on the event page here.

We are co-authors of a new article in the prestigious international scientific journal, Journal of Process Control. The paper presents a new approach to the optimal control of dynamic systems described by partial-differential equations. The paper is a partial result of the collaboration of our institute with Université Mouloud Mammeri in Tizi-Ouzou, Algeria and Lorraine University in Nancy, France.
