Educational aspects of non-linear control
About the workshop:
This two-day workshop is dedicated to all educational aspects of nonlinear control. It aims to give the opportunity to share with all the control community educational tools, materials and supports for instructors in nonlinear control theory and its applications, at the advanced undergraduate and graduate levels, as well as to share new ideas in the educational field.
