Register for SEN Symposium 2026 (May 1st, CWI Amsterdam)

17-Mar-2026

We invite all software engineering researchers and practitioners in the Netherlands to contribute to the symposium program. We welcome proposals for “lightning talks” — short but engaging presentations, to be allocated between 5 and 10 minutes at the symposium.

There is no specific format for lightning talks. Still, they should be targeting the broad VERSEN audience. An exciting lightning talk may, for instance:

• Describe recently published results;
• Present open research problems (and/or ongoing efforts to tackle them);
• Summarize a recently concluded PhD dissertation;
• Summarize a bachelor/master thesis you are working on;
• Present recently granted (or started) research projects;
• Motivate a “call to arms” for the broad VERSEN community.

There will be a (lightweight) evaluation of half-page talk proposals (PDF) describing the envisioned presentation at the symposium.

Please submit your half-page proposal (PDF) using EasyChair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sensymposium2026

Important dates

• Submission of talk proposals: April 10th, 2026, AoE
• Notification: April 17th, 2026
• Registration: April 24th, 2026 — https://www.sen-symposium.nl/registration/

We look forward to seeing you at the SEN symposium!
