8th Elgersburg School 2016 (February 28 - March 5, 2016)
Topics
The school is on two topics of current interest in the field of systems and control theory and its applications. Each topic is presented by a leading expert in the field. In addition to the lectures there will be example classes. Participants will attend both courses.
Who can attend?
The school is open to international PhD and advanced undergraduate students from engineering sciences or mathematics. A background in systems and control theory or related fields will be required.
Scholarships
A limited number of scholarships will be available. These scholarships will in general cover the full travel and lodging expenses. Because of the restricted number of such scholarships, we ask that students preferentially use funds available at their home institutions.
Participants will attend both courses.
Arrival: Sunday, February 28
Departure: Saturday, March 5
Deadline for applications: December 31, 2015
Please make sure that Achim Ilchmann receives a CV from the applicant and
a short letter of recommondation from the supervisor, both by email.
