Bayer once invites Master and PhD students from Europe to our virtual career workshop "Engineering & Technology Pioneers @ Bayer". On three afternoons in November, we will help students gain an insight into our everyday work and career opportunities as well as into technical aspects of our work. The event finishes with information from Human Resources and a talk with a young colleague about applying to and starting to work at Bayer. Students need to apply online, the application deadline is September 30th.

On September 7-9, we organized the 45th annual meeting of Principia Cybernetica 2022 in Trencin. As a part of the Technical Programme, we have also visited an interesting presentation of HELLA company.

We are authors of a new paper in the prestigious international scientific journal Computers & Chemical Engineering:

Peter Bakaráč - Michaela Horváthová - Lenka Galčíková - Juraj Oravec - Monika Bakošová: Approximated MPC for embedded hardware: Recursive random shooting approach

The paper presents a nearly-optimal control suitable for implementation on the embedded hardware with limited energy resources. The publisher Elsevier provides open access to new research articles for 50 days to help share the current results.

Dr. Martin Klaučo and Karol Kiš participated in the 18th IFAC Workshop on Control Applications of Optimization, which took place at Centrale Supélec, Paris-Saclay University on July, 18-22. Karol Kiš gave a lecture on:

Karol Kiš - Peter Bakaráč - Martin Klaučo: Nearly Optimal Tunable MPC Strategies on Embedded Platforms

and Dr. Martin Klaučo was the chairman of the session: Optimization-Based Applications.
