## Call for papers

Welcome Welcome to the 33rd International Working Conference on Requirements Engineering: Foundation for Software Quality (REFSQ) 2027. The live, in-person conference will take place from April 12-15, 2027, in Basel, Switzerland. About REFSQ REFSQ is the leading European conference series on requirements engineering. Since 1994, REFSQ has been an important force in bringing together researchers and practitioners to advance the quality of software systems, services, and products. REFSQ seeks contributions on novel ideas and techniques that enhance the quality of requirements engineering methodology, results, and outcomes, as well as reflections of current research and evaluation of research results. REFSQ is a working conference. Interaction is a defining feature, with active promotion of fruitful discussion among the participants. REFSQ 2027: Aligning RE and AI Velocity AI-assisted coding tools are dramatically increasing the speed of software development. Developers can now implement functionality faster than ever before. As a result, the main bottlenecks in development are shifting upstream to requirements engineering (RE). When code can be produced quickly, the risk is no longer slow implementation but building the wrong system faster. Activities such as eliciting, negotiating, and validating requirements become even more critical. At the same time, requirements engineering cannot accelerate indefinitely: reaching shared understanding among stakeholders remains a fundamentally human and collaborative process. REFSQ 2027 explores how requirements engineering can adapt to AI-accelerated development. How can RE processes, tools, and practices evolve to keep pace with faster implementation while maintaining alignment with stakeholder needs and delivering real value? Features of REFSQ 2027 A high-quality Scientific Programme An Industry Track involving practitioners An Education and Training Track involving lecturers, teachers, trainers, and learners Journal First Track for discussion of journal papers Open Science Track Posters & Tool Demos Workshops on emerging requirements engineering topics A Doctoral Symposium for early-career researchers
