Summer SchoolSPLASH/ISSTA 2026

In 2026, SPLASH and ISSTA will have a joint Summer School that aims at encouraging graduate students and senior undergraduate students to pursue careers in research on topics related to both conferences. The School brings together leading researchers in programming languages, object-orientation, software testing, analysis, and teaching from academia and industry to provide technical sessions on important research and mentoring sessions on how to prepare for a research career. The School aims to engage students in a process of imagining how they might contribute to our research community. We especially encourage women and under-represented minority students to attend. The Summer School lectures are restricted to registered students.

To complement the lectures, the Summer School will also provide an opportunity for smaller and more focused conversations and engagement. Each student will be assigned a senior mentor, another student who is already active in research, with the idea that the mentor will help students navigate the conference and further expand their research network. The summer school will also include morning mentoring breakfasts where students meet with renowned researchers in small groups and discuss career options.
