Thematic Workshops
2025 – 2026
Budapest
13 & 14 November 2025
THEMATIC WORKSHOPS OBJECTIVES
Our Thematic Workshops aim to bring our community together in a cohesive and collaborative way around challenging and promising technologies. These workshops serve as a platform to envision tomorrow’s innovation projects and enhance the quality of our project proposals.
Through a series of focused sessions, we study and analyze key technology areas relevant to our community, identify challenges and opportunities, and brainstorm to prepare impactful project proposals.
Ultimately, these efforts contribute meaningfully to the ECS Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (ECS-SRIA).
THEMATIC WORKSHOPS FOCUS AREAS
Edge to cloud cognitive continuum
Explore how AI, edge devices, and cloud systems seamlessly work together to drive smarter, faster decisions. Learn about adaptive intelligence, autonomous orchestration, and privacy-aware, sustainable computing. See how digital twins, semantic integration, and hyper-distributed services are shaping the future of connected systems.
Engineering automation
Dive into the future of intelligent engineering with intent-based, explainable, and adaptive automation. Explore digital twins, real-time co-simulation, and decentralized testbeds that make engineering smarter, faster, and more resilient.
ECS for mobility
Explore the frontiers of next-generation mobility, covering autonomous vehicles, intelligent drones, underwater systems, new urban transport solutions, modular land vehicles and their convergence into a seamless, interconnected ecosystem. From smart cities to remote operations, these innovations are reshaping how people, goods, and data move, enabling safer, cleaner, and more adaptive mobility across air, land, and sea. Join us to understand the trends shaping the mobility of tomorrow.
Safety and security in system of systems
Explore how advanced security and safety principles protect complex, interconnected systems. Learn how cognitive approaches, zero-trust architectures, and security-aware digital twins enable resilient, adaptive, and autonomously managed systems. Discover the strategies shaping the secure evolution of systems of systems in a rapidly changing digital world.
Quantum technologies
Explore how quantum computing, communication, and sensing are transforming the way we process, connect, and secure information. Learn how quantum advances enable ultra-secure networks, powerful simulations, and new frontiers in AI. Discover the technologies driving the next leap in digital innovation.
