A Leading Event for Engineering Sciences
The SAGIP (French Society for Control, Industrial and Production Engineering) is a scientific association dedicated to structuring, promoting, and advancing the disciplines represented within its fields of activity.
The annual SAGIP conference brings together the French research communities working on the design, control, and improvement of dynamic systems—whether technical or human—as well as production systems for goods and services. Research presented at the conference draws on a wide range of methodologies, including automatic control and signal processing, artificial intelligence, mechanical engineering, and operations research, particularly optimization techniques.
The 4th edition of the conference was held from June 10 to 12, 2026, at ENSEIRB-MATMECA / Bordeaux INP. The event was organized by the Automatic Control and Production Engineering research groups of the IMS Laboratory. It welcomed more than 410 participants.
