e-EuroGNC Online Workshops

The online workshops provide a different format to exchange or present topics outside of the EuroGNC conferences and with a much lower bar (online, short, free) and also give the opportunity to reach people beyond the participant of the conferences.

The topics are the same than for the EuroGNC conferences (cf. full list)

  • Aircraft Guidance, Control and Dynamics
  • Spacecraft Guidance, Control and Dynamics
  • Navigation and Localization
  • Control Theory and Application
  • UAV Guidance, Control and Dynamics
  • and more…

Coming and past online workshops

The next workshop is being finalised and should take place in the first week of December 2026 => stay tuned!

  • Unlocking the potential of unconventional aerial vehicles
    Sophie Armanini, Imperial College London — Dept, of Aeronautics
    Thanks to their small size, low cost and rapid manufacturing, small-scale unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) facilitate the exploration of new and unconventional designs. These in turn result in new flight behaviours and capabilities, which can allow for complex tasks to be performed more efficiently or for new applications altogether. Particularly challenging domains include environmental sensing and operations in urban areas — both of which require UAVs to be versatile and robust, while also posing a low risk to their surroundings and causing a minimal disturbance. This talk presents an overview of past and recent research on the design, modelling and control of different types of UAVs, focusing particularly on bioinspired and unconventional configurations.
  • System identification for the monitoring of complex structures: an open challenge
    Gabriele Dessena, Universidad Carlos III de Madrid — Aerospace Engineering
    The pursuit of aerodynamic performance and mass reduction has driven the adoption of composites and other anisotropic materials, making the behaviour of aeronautical structures harder to predict as damage and uncertainty evolve in service. This talk presents an extension of the Loewner Framework — a reduced-order modelling technique from electrical engineering — to system identification, built directly from noisy measured responses to extract natural frequencies, damping ratios and mode shapes for structural health monitoring. It closes with ongoing work towards real-time implementation and the identification of aeroelastic phenomena such as flutter.
