Industry Day: Bridge between Research and Application

The Industry Day of SE 2026 serves as a platform for exchanging ideas, knowledge and experiences between academia and industry. It is targeted at experts from both companies and research facilities, as well as interested members from the Open Source Community. Anyone who is interested in the current trends and challenges faced in modern software engineering is welcome to join.

The goals of the Industry Day are to further the exchange of knowledge between the research world and the practical world, to foster cooperation and to offer valuable insights to its attendees about the current happenings, trends and challenges faced in modern software engineering.

We envision a program filled with inspiring guest talks, poster presentations and interactive panels. Further, opportunities for networking in the form of match-making and informal meetings are provided and highly encouraged. The Industry Day provides ideal conditions to connect with other experts from the field, to share experiences and kickstart potential collaborative projects.
