The 34th Mediterranean Conference on Control and Automation (MED'26) returns to Ancona, Italy, two decades after its last edition hosted by the Università Politecnica delle Marche (www.univpm.it).

The conference will commence with an engaging programme of Tutorials and Workshops on June 23, followed by the technical conference from June 24-26. The conference will primarily focus on emerging challenges and opportunities in automatic control and cyber-physical systems solutions, with particular attention to small and medium-sized enterprises and start-ups.

Set along the stunning Adriatic coast, Ancona is more than a historic destination; it stands as a dynamic hub for automation, control systems, and cutting-edge research in maritime technology, cyber-physical systems, and innovative start-ups. The city embodies the renowned “Marche model” of collaborative innovation, where academic institutions, research bodies, and small and medium enterprises work closely together, fostering a distinctive environment for advancement in technology and applied sciences.

We look forward to seeing you in Ancona!
