Dear all,
On behalf of the Software Center, we would like to invite you to the 2nd ‘Software Center Skåne Day’ – a follow-up to the 1st, and successful, event in May earlier this year to which we attracted a large number of researchers and practitioners.
Where: Malmö University, Building Nereus (floor 4), Neptuniplan 7, Malmö
When: December 4th, 13.00 – 17.00.
Why: The Software Center is a research collaboration in which companies and universities work together to accelerate the adoption of novel approaches to software engineering, and to address the core challenges that software companies in Sweden and the rest of the Nordics currently face. These challenges include e.g. the competitive positioning in fast moving markets, the growing importance of software, the rapid rate of evolution of best practices in software engineering, and the difficulties companies experience in adopting these techniques.
The ‘Software Center Skåne Day’ will bring together a community of software professionals and researchers, and you will enjoy meeting like-minded individuals, learning new skills from practitioners from a variety of companies, and being intellectually challenged. The purpose of the event is to further strengthen the connection between the companies in the region, to introduce new companies with potential interest in the Software Center to our on-going research, to report on our research findings, and to learn more about how the participating companies experience the Software Center collaboration.
We are very much looking forward to have you join us for this event. For more information about the Software Center please visit http://www.software-center.se
The event will consist of a number of interesting presentations, and we have speakers from both academia and industry. The intention is to learn more about some of the on-going research projects, as well as to learn more about our member companies and their experiences. We are especially happy to welcome speakers from SONY that is a new member in the Software Center, and from Ericsson in Lund that is a new company site in the Software Center collaboration.
