Workshops

Note: Workshops 2 and 4 has been cancelled!

Four workshops are planned to be organized in conjunction with DYCOPS-CAB. These workshops will be conducted by experts from academia and industry, and will be relevant to attendees from both backgrounds. The workshops will take place immediately prior to the DYCOPS-CAB symposium, that is at Sunday June 5th, at the same venue, at NTNU, Trondheim.

Workshops are half-day or full-day on topics of interest to the process control community. Advance registration for the workshops will be done through the conference registration website. On-site registration for the workshops will be available, subject to space and resource constraints. We reserve the right to cancel workshops with insufficient interest, with full refund.
