The 23rd IFAC symposium on Automatic Control in Aerospace is organized by the International Federation of Automatic Control and Chinese Association of Automation, and will be hosted by Harbin Institute of Technology and the Beijing Institute of Control Engineering. It will be held in Harbin, Heilongjiang Province, from August 2 to 6, 2025. The conference aims to provide a platform for academic exchange among domestic and international experts, scholars, and engineering technicians engaged in related fields and research, showcasing the latest theoretical and technical achievements. The conference will facilitate communication through plenary reports, thematic seminars, group presentations, and poster sessions.

Harbin, also known as the Ice City, is an important central city in Northeast China, a famous historical and cultural city, one of the important cities in the Northeast Asian economic circle, and a significant industrial base and transportation hub in Northeast China. It is located near the middle reaches of the Songhua River, bordering the

Ussuri River to the east, backed by the Greater Khingan Range to the west, adjacent to Jilin Province to the south, and facing Russia across the river to the north. The terrain is high in the east and low in the west, mostly plains and hilly areas, with the Lesser Khingan Range in the east, and has a temperate monsoon climate with distinct seasons

and particularly pleasant and cool summers. As a pioneer demonstration area for regional cooperation in Northeast Asia, Harbin plays an important role in promoting the revitalization and development of Northeast China and facilitating exchanges and cooperation in Northeast Asia.Welcome to Harbin In 2025!
