Council of the Katholieke
Universiteit Leuven has decided to confer the honor of ‘Doctor
Honoris Causa’ upon Prof.
Dr.
Lennart Ljung for his many
contributions to mathematical modeling of dynamical systems, including system identification algorithms
and software for linear and nonlinear systems and for his high impact
on the
field, both in academia as in industrial environments.
At the same
occasion, two more
Honorary
Degrees will be awarded, one to Manuel de
Sola-Morales and one to P. Ole Fanger.
The Honorary Degree
will be awarded in a special ceremony
on Wednesday, October 13, at 16.00 h in the central Promotion Hall of

K.U.Leuven (Naamsestraat 22, 3000 Leuven, Belgium), with Prof. Dr. Bart
De Moor
pronouncing the formal ‘laudatio’ in honor of Prof. Ljung.
For this
occasion,
a two day workshop will be organized, where
we will launch K.U. Leuven - SCORES
(Systems, Control and Optimization in Research, Education and
Services),
an interdepartmental initiative of the K.U. Leuven, to integrate all
research
and teaching activities in systems, control and optimization. This
workshop is
also co-organized by the Belgian
Interuniversity Attraction Pole
‘Dynamical
Systems and Control’, Belgian
Interuniversity Attraction Pole
‘Advanced Mechatronic Systems’, the Flemish Research Community ICCoS, and the TI-genootschap BIRA.
 There will be
talks by representatives from local member teams of
SCORES, spin-off and other companies and invited
guest speakers (including Prof.
Dr. Brian Anderson,
Prof. Dr.
Albert Benveniste and
Prof. Dr. Paul Van den Hof).
We would like to invite you to
these two
days of events. Registration can be done
