As you may have noticed, this new edition introduces a new organising team and a new venue: the CISBAT conference is moving closer to the Smart Living Lab. Taking over from Marilyne Andersen, I am delighted to be chairing this conference in close collaboration with the Fribourg School of Engineering and Architecture (HEIA) and the University of Fribourg. The conference is moving from Lausanne to Fribourg, where we are pulling out all the stops to give you the best possible welcome.

Meanwhile, the unique spirit of CISBAT remains intact: from the selection of high-quality scientific papers to the insightful keynote speeches, all in a convivial and stimulating atmosphere.

We look forward to welcoming you and your colleagues. Please spread the word!
