We are happy to invite you to participate in the 5th VERSEN Workshop on Programming Languages in The Netherlands (PLNL 2025) at CWI in Amsterdam. The purpose of PLNL is to bring together researchers in the area of Programming Languages in North-West Europe. The workshop targets Programming Language research in the broad sense. This includes but is not limited to:

• The design, implementation, theory, application, and teaching of Programming Languages.
• Front-ends, including textual languages, domain-specific languages, visual notations, user interfaces, mechanisms, interaction design, and user-centric design.
• Back-ends, including runtimes, just-in-time compilation, bytecode generation and optimization.
• Industry applications, case studies.
• Contributions from adjacent fields that overlap with these topics are also welcome.

PLNL 2025 will take place at Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica, which is located at the Science Park in Amsterdam.

Call for Talk Proposals

Workshop Format

The workshop will consist of a number of contributed talks. We strive to have interactive sessions with plenty of discussion by the audience. Talk slots will be approximately 20 minutes, including at least 5 minutes for the audience to ask questions and raise discussions.

The coffee and lunch breaks will allow for networking with colleagues and meeting new people. Junior and senior researchers are equally welcome and encouraged to submit a talk proposal, and we also invite industry experts who put theory into practice.

Researchers from neighbouring countries like Belgium or Germany, are also welcome to participate. To accommodate extra travel time, the workshop starts at 10:30. The language of the workshop is English.

Submission Details

Talk proposals should be described in an abstract of at most 400 words. Proposals should be relevant to the area, but need not represent original work. Talks on recently published work, work in progress, or ongoing case studies are also welcome.
