The ACM International Conference on the Foundations of Software Engineering (FSE) is an internationally renowned forum for researchers, practitioners, and educators to present and discuss the most recent innovations, trends, experiences, and challenges in the field of software engineering. FSE brings together experts from academia and industry to exchange the latest research results and trends as well as their practical application in all areas of software engineering.

Although informally put into practice for years, FSE and ESEC/FSE officially merged in 2017 into a single annual conference with a single steering committee. Since 2024,

ACM International Conference on the Foundations of Software Engineering (FSE)

is the official new name of this annual conference series.
