Integrated AI
Submissions demonstrating the integration of artificial intelligence throughout the process analytics value chain, from sensor data acquisition to automated decision-making.
PACT for Process Intensification
Applications of process analytics and control technology enabling sustainable process intensification, including energy efficiency, waste reduction, and environmental impact minimization.
EuroPACT 2026 provides a unique meeting and a discussion forum for researchers, suppliers and users of process analytics from both academia and industry. The conference program will include plenary and invited lectures and plenty of opportunity for discussion with colleagues during poster sessions, speed dating and discussion rounds.
The online paper submission will close on 12th January 2026.
Please prepare an abstract with 1-2 pages (incl. figures, max. size 1 MB, max. 2 pages). The abstract should explicitly mention objectives, new results and conclusions or significance of the work.
The selection of the contributions will be based on the review of the abstracts by the scientific committee.
Accepted abstracts will be published for all conference participants in a book of abstracts (PDF file).
The congress language is English.
Please note: Registration fee cannot be waived for authors.
