Context
The 2026 edition of Control Theory & Inverse Problems (CTIP’26) will take the form of a Research School, designed to provide high-level training on current topics in Control Theory and Inverse Problems.
The primary objective of this school is to benefit young researchers, PhD students, and early-career scientists, while also offering senior researchers an opportunity to deepen their knowledge in rapidly evolving areas of research. The scientific program will feature three mini-courses (3 × 50 minutes each) delivered by internationally recognized experts, covering modern developments and active research directions.
In addition, the school will include plenary lectures (45 minutes) devoted to more specialized topics, as well as short communications (20 minutes) allowing young researchers to present their recent results.
CTIP’26 aims to foster scientific exchange, collaboration, and discussion in a stimulating and friendly environment. By bringing together researchers from different institutions and countries, the school seeks to strengthen interactions within the community working in control theory and inverse problems.
