The event will also host the Young People Programme fostering networking and exchanges of information on relevant issues, recent research outcomes, and career opportunities for junior researchers. Poster-supported live interactions and pre-recorded videos are available to complement all research paper presentations before, during, and after the conference. DATE 2026 is the 29th edition of an event that has always been the place for researchers, young professionals, and industrial partners to meet, present their research, and discuss current developments and upcoming trends, with high emphasis on social interaction.
