The International Workshop for Autonomous System Safety (IWASS 2026) is a joint effort by the B. John Garrick Institute for the Risk Sciences at the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA), the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), and the University of Stuttgart.

IWASS is a by invitation-only event that gathers key experts on autonomous systems safety from industry, academia, and regulatory authorities. IWASS aims to identify and propose solutions for common challenges related to safety, reliability, and security (SRS) of autonomous systems from an interdisciplinary and cross-industry perspective. IWASS envisions a future where autonomous systems enrich human life while upholding the highest standards of safety, reliability, and security.

IWASS 2026 will be held in Braga, Portugal in collaboration with ESREL 2026

The International Workshop on Autonomous Systems Safety will be held in person on June 13th and 14th, 2026 at the University of Minho in Braga, Portugal. The workshop will kick off at 12:30 p.m. on June 13th and finish at 6:00 p.m. on the 14th, ensuring we will have time packed with insightful discussions, right in time for the ESREL 2026 reception!
