Goal and Scope:

Student volunteers are vital to making ICSME a success, helping with tasks like registration and local support. Being a volunteer is a fantastic way to connect and network with top-notch academic and industry professionals in Software Engineering. These interactions often shape the research interests of participating students. Plus, it’s an excellent opportunity to meet fellow students worldwide who share a passion for Software Engineering and also help cut down on some conference costs!

This exclusive experience is available to undergraduate and graduate students worldwide who are enthusiastic and willing to contribute to making ICSME 2024 a unique experience for all attendees.

  • You must specify in the application form if you are unavailable on any pre-and/or post-conference program days. Not all volunteers will be required for the total duration of the conference, so we will consider this information when scheduling tasks.
