The ICSE general chairs Marcos Kalinowski and Rafael Prikladnicki, together with the technical PC chairs, open the first ever ICSE to be held in Brazil with a record number of submissions and, in consequence, an overwhelming review process. Impressive!

Hello Rio! Hello wonderful ICSE community for some pre-conference exchanges!

Stefan Wagner and I, together with many wonderful colleagues from the SE community, are very much looking forward to be welcoming to the Empirical Software Engineering International Week, to be held directly after Oktoberfest in Munich.

Congratulations to Dr. Xingru Chen for successfully defending your thesis on improving and characterizing participatory reuse! bth.diva-portal.org/...

Hello University of Helsinki! If it weren't for the productive days and great company, the blueberry juice alone would have been reason enough to come. Some even say that this juice is so successful that they've built an entire airline around it. 😅

Northern lights reaching Karlskrona ❤️💚

Research funding calls that drain the research community. Broad calls with little funding likely cost the research community than the funding it provides. https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-025-04060-x
