CSER brings together the community of systems scholars to discuss, workshop, and move forward engineering topics related to systems. CSER embraces a system definition where the humans that impact and are impacted by the system are within the system boundary. CSER 2027 will explore modern complex systems and the user, societal, organizational, physical, and process elements tied to them.

Hosted in the heart of Huntsville and next to Redstone Arsenal, NASA Marshall Space Flight Center, and the Cummings Research
Park, special topics at CSER 2027 will explore advancing the aerospace, defense, and space systems and their engineering ecosystems.
