WELCOME MESSAGE

Dear Colleagues and Friends,

It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the 2027 IEEE International Symposium on Sensorless Control for Electrical Drives, taking place in Modena, Italy, from 8 to 10 September 2027.

SLED has long provided an international forum where researchers, engineers and industry experts come together to present new ideas, exchange perspectives and shape the future of sensorless electrical drives. Building on this tradition, SLED 2027 will explore the advances enabling the next generation of intelligent, reliable and sustainable drive systems, from innovative estimation and control techniques to data-driven approaches, reduced-sensor architectures, resilient operation and emerging applications.

Hosted in the heart of Italy’s Motor Valley, Modena offers a particularly inspiring setting for this conversation. Its unique combination of engineering excellence, industrial innovation and cultural heritage reflects the spirit we hope will characterize the symposium: rigorous technical discussion, openness to new ideas and meaningful connections between academia and industry.

The program will bring together keynote presentations, technical sessions, networking opportunities and technical visits. We warmly encourage you to contribute actively, share your experience and take full advantage of the opportunities to establish new collaborations and strengthen existing ones.

We look forward to welcoming you to Modena and wish you an inspiring, enjoyable and productive symposium.
