MCPL
 
The IFAC MCPL 2016 is the 7th conference in a very successful series of events, previously held in Fortaleza (Brazil), Campinas (Brazil), Grenoble (France), Santiago (Chile), Sibiu (Romania) and Coimbra (Portugal). This seventh edition will be organized by the BIBA Bremer Institut für Produktion und Logistik, one of the most important research centers for Production and Logistic Systems in Europe.
The conference will be held in the Hanseatic City Bremen on the banks of the River Weser, one of the biggest logistics hubs in Europe. The city combines high-tech and picturesque narrow streets built in centuries past, and its rich heritage of history is greatly cherished and lovingly preserved. Bremen is the only city in Germany to have an airport ten minutes away from the city. Destinations like London, Madrid, Munich or Vienna can be reached easily by plane.
