The 23rd IFAC Symposium on Automatic Control in Aerospace (ACA 2025), hosted by the Harbin Institute of Technology (HIT), was held from Aug 2 to 6 in Harbin city.
The event provided an academic platform for experts, scholars, and engineers worldwide to exchange ideas and showcase the latest theories and technological advances in aerospace control.
Over 10 leading experts from China and abroad delivered keynote speeches and participated in forums on hot topics. Professor Zhang Lixian from HIT's School of Astronautics and Professor Chen Liqun from HIT's Shenzhen Campus presented reports at the plenary session and the Aerospace Control Forum, respectively.
HIT President Han Jiecai noted that the symposium has long been regarded as a "weathervane" in the aerospace control field. He expressed hope for closer collaboration with global experts to explore frontiers, cultivate talent, promote the transformation of innovations, and contribute to China's aerospace strengths and the building of a community with a shared future for humanity.
