ECC2024 will feature a day with dedicated industry sessions and panels. These events are open to control practitioners and researchers from industry as well as academia. The Industry Day will be on Thursday, June 27.

During this day there will be a plenary speaker from industry, as well as two industrial panel sessions. There will also be one parallel track of the conference devoted to presentation of contributed industry abstracts. Furthermore there will be a tutorial session on how to close the gap between academic and industrial control research, and a lunch session with examples of successful university-industry consortia.
