The European Control Conference

The conference aims to bring together academic and industrial professionals in the field of systems and control, and to promote scientific cooperation and exchanges within Europe and between Europe and other parts of the World.

ECC25 is the 23rd in the EUCA Series of European Control Conferences and will be held in Thessaloniki, Greece from June 24 to June 27, 2025.

The first ECC was held in Grenoble in 1991, under the chairmanship of Ioan Landau, and was attended by about 650 people. The ECC was subsequently held every two years until 2011, and annually since 2013.
