To promote STEM subjects, the  Werner Siemens Foundation (WSS) in cooperation with the  Swiss Study Foundation awards every year ten excellent students with a  Werner Siemens Fellowship. In addition to financial support, the fellowship provides opportunities to participate in networking events of the Werner Siemens Program.

Our new PhD student,  Roman Bögli, is one of the fellows 2023/24 and was recently featured in a  portrait article on the WSS homepage. Among others, he talks about his research conducted during his Master’s thesis at IBM Research in Rüschlikon.

At the  SE 2024 conference in Linz, Austria,  Sandra Greiner co-organized the sixth edition of the  SECPPS workshop. The Software Engineering (SE) conference is a gathering organized by the  Software Engineering Division (SWT) of the  German Informatics Society (GI).

We are pleased to announce several  open PhD positions in the field of software engineering, each of them being funded for at least 4 years. We are looking for highly motivated and dedicated individuals to join our research group and to advance software engineering knowledge and methods.

At the  SPLC in Tokyo, Japan,  Sandra Greiner co-organized the sixth edition of the  VariVolution workshop. The workshop aims at bringing together researchers studying software evolution and variability from different angles as well as practitioners encountering these phenomena in real-world applications and systems.

We are very happy to announce that we are hosting the  18^th International Working Conference on Variability Modelling of Software-Intensive Systems (VaMoS 2024). The  VaMoS conferences aim at bringing together “researchers and practitioners to share ideas, results and experiences about their quest for mastering variability”.  Prof. Dr. Timo Kehrer serves as general chair and will organize the conference together with his team and further renown researchers on variability modeling of software-intensive systems. The conference will take place in the buildings of the university from February 7^th to 9^th, 2024.
