Historically, these disciplines have diverged in assumptions regarding available prior information and in analytical techniques applied. However, recent advances bridging the two domains are fostering collaborations. As part of a <a href="https://www.cwi.nl/en/events/cwi-research-semester-programmes/control-theory-and-reinforcement/" style="background-color: initial; text-decoration-line: underline; cursor: pointer;" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">research semester on Control Theory and Reinforcement Learning at CWI, Amsterdam, NL</a>, we have a workshop on broad themes across these topics.</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);
