BENEVOL 2024 + IMPACT! day
What?
BENEVOL on Thursday and Friday, November 21 and 22: the congress will bring together researchers working in software engineering, evolution, and maintenance. This year, we will have two keynotes: one by Prof. Andy Zaidman from TU Delft and one by Prof. Sonia Haiduc from Florida State University. IMPACT! day on November 20: as a PhD student and/or researcher, you can join us to learn to communicate what you bring to the table efficiently thanks to the tried and tested Value Proposition canvas and exchange with practitioners, who will expose the challenges they encounter daily. The IMPACT! day initiative is supported by the GRASCOMP doctoral school, and participants will receive a certificate. As a software development professional, you can join us on Wednesday afternoon, November 20, as a guest from the corporate world to share your current challenges and connect with researchers working to advance software development and maintenance practices (please do not hesitate to contact us at snail.info@unamur.be if you would like to participate in the introductory panel of guests from the professional world and/or at the World Café).
