We are delighted to announce that the FNRS Contact Group on Embedded Real-Time Systems is organizing a half-day special session on the second day of the CES Conference (July 1, 2026). This session includes a keynote talk by Professor Mitra Nasri (TU/e, Netherlands) and a presentation session by PhD and early-stage researchers.
The Critical Embedded Systems Conference 2026 is honoured to announce that 6 presentations and 10 poster have been accepted for this year. The full list of accepted presentations and posters are available on FNRS and Poster sessions pages.
The Critical Embedded Systems Conference 2026 invites PhD students, early-stage researchers, and practitioners to contribute to the conference through two complementary tracks:
These tracks provide an excellent opportunity to present your work, receive feedback from leading researchers, and engage with both academic and industrial experts in the field.
Travel grants are available for Master/PhD students and young researchers (check submission platform for details).
The CES conference is organised by the Chair of Critical Embedded Systems at UCLouvain in collaboration with the Contribute Consortium and its main partners AISIN and ALSTOM.
More information about the collaborators supporting the CES 2026 conference is available on the Partners page.
