Winter School
Modelling, Estimation, and Control using Set-Based Methods:
Theory and Applications
13-16 Feb. 2024
Objective
The objective of this winter school is to provide a comprehensive introduction to set-based methods, particularly interval-based approaches, spanning from theoretical foundations to their applications in various problem domains such as parameter identification, state estimation, and robust control.
The aim is to equip attendees with the knowledge and skills needed to apply set-based methods effectively in their research, engineering, or scientific work, while also promoting these methods as valuable tools in addressing complex and uncertain systems.
The training will be led by researchers actively involved in this field, who will bring their own academic and industrial expertise. The format of the training will be intentionally diverse, combining both lectures and practical workshops where participants will have the opportunity to use open-source tools to solve real-world problems.
Target Audience
The school is mainly intended for PhD students and young researchers demonstrating an interest in the field of set-based methods. They must submit a scientific CV that shows an academic background enabling them to follow the content of the event.

Practical information
The winter school takes place in Centrale Lille – Cité Scientifique 59650 Villeneuve d’Ascq – France.
All the courses will be presented in English.
All participants are responsible for planning and paying for their stay in Lille. Lunch may be offered but this remains to be confirmed
Registration
Participation at the winter school is free of charge but with a mandatory registration. A preregistration, by sending your CV, is required before the 31st of December 2023, where a scientific committee will select the candidates based on their CVs. Notifications on acceptance/rejection will be given by January 8, 2024. The number of participants is limited to 50.
