On May 4th, 2021 the chapter of the Control Systems Society of the IEEE Switzerland Section has been formed. The chapter activities will be coordinated by Giancarlo Ferrari Trecate (founder and chapter chair) and Melanie Zeilinger (chapter co-chair).

The goal of the Chapter is to establish a common umbrella, under the banner of the IEEE Switzerland Section, for promoting advancements in the area of systems and control, strengthening links between industry and academia, and fostering the exchange of ideas between students interested in automation and control. To this purpose, the Chapter aims at organizing lectures by renowned experts, co-sponsoring PhD schools and initiatives for continuing education, and co-sponsoring relevant conferences and workshops in automatic control that will take place in Switzerland.
