Message from the ECC14 general chair

On behalf of the European Control Association (EUCA) and the Conference Organizing Committee, I am delighted to welcome you to Strasbourg, France and to the 13^th-European Control Conference (ECC´14). Strasbourg is a European city par excellence. Located in France at the German border, it benefits from a strong European identity. It is the host of major European institutions: the European Parliament, the Council of Europe and the European Court of Human Rights. The entire historic center of Strasbourg is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. I do believe that this pleasant environment will help to make ECC´14 a memorable event.
