The Automation and Industrial Control Department (DACI) of the Escuela Politécnica Nacional with the Latin American Associations of the International Federation of Automatic Control are in charge of organizing the XVIII LATIN AMERICAN CONGRESS ON AUTOMATIC CONTROL (CLCA 2018), which will be held at our University, on October 24th, 25th, and 26th, 2018.

The main objective of the CLCA is to bring together the scientific community that works in automatic control and related areas for the transfer and exchange of experiences and knowledge. This event is the most important meeting of experts in Latin America where they present recent contributions, current trends, new challenges and opportunities of tools that frame the theory of control, automation and related areas. It is also an excellent opportunity to interact and establish links between researchers in Latin America and worldwide.
