L4DC 2027 — 9th Annual Learning for Dynamics & Control Conference
by L4DC 2027 Organizing Committee (hosted by KTH Royal Institute of Technology)
Where machine learning meets control theory and optimization — Stockholm, June 2027
About This Event
L4DC 2027, the 9th Annual Learning for Dynamics & Control Conference, takes place 16–18 June 2027 at KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden. The conference exists because the explosion of real-time data from devices that sense and control the physical world demands closer synergy between machine learning, control theory and optimization. It takes theoretical, applied and empirical papers from academia and industry, submitted through OpenReview, plus a late-breaking results track. General co-chairs are Karl Johansson and Johan Karlsson (KTH); Florian Dörfler (ETH Zürich) chairs the programme with Thomas Schön (Uppsala University) and Noémie Jaquier (KTH), and the organising committee includes tutorial, industry, ELLIS Alliance and talent-matchmaking chairs. The 2026 edition was held at the University of Southern California.

- ✓Heads of autonomy and control engineering
- ✓Robotics and autonomous systems researchers
- ✓Machine learning researchers
- ✓Industrial automation R&D leaders
- ✓Energy and process-control engineers
- ✓PhD students
Why Attend
Learning-based control sits under autonomous vehicles, robotics, grid and process automation, and L4DC is where research on data-driven control of dynamical processes is presented. For a CTO or head of autonomy at an industrial, automotive or energy company, three days in Stockholm offer a direct view of methods moving from theory toward deployment, access to the ETH Zürich, KTH and Uppsala groups on the organising committee, and a talent-matchmaking programme for hiring control and ML researchers.
Event Features
- ✓Peer-reviewed papers submitted via OpenReview on the L4DC LaTeX template
- ✓Late-breaking results track
- ✓Tutorials (tutorial chair Valentina Breschi, Eindhoven University of Technology)
- ✓ELLIS Alliance programme (chair Danica Kragic, KTH)
- ✓Industry programme (industry chair Urban Forssell, Digital Futures)
- ✓Talent matchmaking (chair Matthieu Barreau, KTH)
What Makes This Unique
- ★Focused squarely on the interface of machine learning, control and optimization — theoretical, applied and empirical — rather than general ML.
- ★Programme chaired by Florian Dörfler (ETH Zürich) with Thomas Schön (Uppsala) and Noémie Jaquier (KTH); steering committee John Lygeros and Melanie Zeilinger (ETH Zurich) and George Pappas (Penn).
- ★Organising committee includes dedicated industry, ELLIS Alliance and talent-matchmaking chairs.
- ★Follows the 2026 edition at USC, which was co-located with the International Conference on Neuro-symbolic Systems (NeuS).
