REFSQ 2027
Mon 12 - Thu 15 April 2027 Basel, Switzerland

REFSQ is the leading European conference on requirements engineering โ€” a working conference where discussion and exchange matter as much as the talks themselves. This year's special theme is "Aligning RE and AI Velocity", exploring how requirements engineering can adapt to AI-accelerated development.

We are looking for motivated student volunteers to help us run the conference and make it a welcoming experience for everyone.

1 What you will do
  • Help at the registration and information desk
  • Support session chairs and speakers (timekeeping, AV and room setup)
  • Help with poster and tool demo setup, coffee breaks and social events
  • Guide attendees around the venue
  • Do other small tasks to keep things running smoothly

You will work about 12โ€“15 hours across the conference days. We plan shifts so that you can still attend as many sessions as possible.

2 What you get
  • A complimentary full-conference package, including the conference dinner and workshops, offered to a limited number of volunteers selected based on their motivation letter
  • A REFSQ 2027 volunteer T-shirt
  • A certificate of participation
  • The opportunity to meet leading researchers and practitioners in RE and gain behind-the-scenes experience of conference organisation
Please note that you have to arrange and pay for your own travel and accommodation.
3 Who can apply
  • Bachelor's, Master's or PhD students enrolled at the time of the conference
  • Available in Basel from April 12 to April 15, 2027, including a short briefing on the morning of the 12th
  • Good English skills (German is a plus, but not required)
  • Reliable, friendly and happy to work in a team

Authors of accepted papers can apply too, but must register through the regular author registration.

4 How to apply

Send an email with your application by February 28, 2027 (AoE). Please include:

  • Your name, university, degree program, and level of study
  • A short statement (max. 200 words) on why you want to volunteer at REFSQ 2027
