The 25th STP Days of the MACS Research Group will take place on the Arts et Métiers campus Arts et Métiers Lille on May 31 and June 1, 2018.

The MACS research group is a scientific organization within the Automation and Industrial Engineering community, structured around various thematic areas. Its role is to help structure research and foster common synergies by bringing together all the strengths in the disciplines covered by the GdR. It must therefore play a leading role in amplifying ongoing research activities, facilitating the emergence of new and particularly promising research themes, and defending the specificities and scientific challenges of our disciplines to institutions and funding agencies.
