Smart Net-Zero

August 23–28, 2026 | In-person | Busan, Republic of Korea |

IFAC WC 2026, the triennial flagship congress of IFAC, will convene control scientists, engineers, and students from around the world to exchange knowledge and advance applications of control and systems engineering. The program will feature plenary lectures, regular and invited technical sessions, workshops and tutorials, competitions, and industrial engagement activities, alongside multiple submission tracks for both research and applied contributions. While not sector-specific, the congress addresses core technologies—such as automation, robotics, and data-driven control—that underpin precision operations, autonomous systems, and energy-efficient processes relevant to smart and net-zero agrifood systems.
