Accepted Workshops
A list of the accepted workshops.
Workshops
In addition to the technical-scientific main program, the workshop program always represents an essential part of the conference program. Through the open workshop format, it is even possible to promote new subfields of software engineering and achieve strong networking and cooperation between academia and industry. Accordingly, workshop proposals that offer an explicit practical reference and are, for example, (co-)organized by industry experts will be given preference in the selection process. In principle, all topics with a clear software engineering reference are possible workshop topics.
SE26 takes place from 23rd - 27th February 2026 in Bern. The workshops will be held on 23rd and 24th February 2026 in the Workspace Welle7. Half-day or full-day workshops can be proposed.

Publication
The contributions will be published as a joint conference volume in the Digital Library of the German Informatics Society (GI e.V.) and must be formatted in the GI LNI template.
Accepted workshops must be appropriately announced and promoted by the respective organizing team. SE26 will also publish a joint call for all workshops. The organizing team is requested to set up a website after their topic has been accepted to provide information about the content and schedule as well as the workshop in general. In addition, the organizing team can publish a two-page description of the workshop in the conference proceedings (LNI format).
