Three SE.next panels have just been added to the ICSE 2026 programme! DAY 1 – SE.next: In the Agentic Trenches What happens when your newest team member never sleeps, never pushes back, and never truly understands the system? DAY 2 – SE.next: Research in the Agentic Era If AI teammates can run our experiments and replicate our results, and the thing we study is fundamentally changing, what exactly is the researcher’s job? DAY 3 – SE.next: Raising the Agentic Engineer We are still teaching students to write code. Their future employers will hire them to direct AI teammates. Something has to give. Chair: Ahmed E. Hassan, NSERC/RIM Industrial Research Chair in Software Engineering for Ultra Large Scale systems and the Canada Research Chair in Software Analytics at the School of Computing in Queen's University.

🚨 Coming to Brazil for ICSE 2026? Don’t forget your visa! 🇧🇷✈️ Since April 10, 2025, there are important changes to Brazil’s visa policy. If you’re presenting a paper or attending a co-located event, check your visa requirements now: 👉 Some passport holders do not need a visa (e.g., EU, UK, Mercosul, China, Norway…). ⚠️ But if you're from Australia, Canada, or the United States, you do need a visa to enter Brazil. 🎯 Start early! Getting your Visa Support Letter from ACM takes time — don't wait until the last minute. 📌 All details and official links here: 🔗 Visa and Travel Authorization for ICSE 2026: https://conf.researchr.org/attending/icse-2026/visa-and-travel-authorization #ICSE2026 #SoftwareEngineering #ResearchTravel #VisaAlert #AcademicTravel
