Call for Participation – 20th International Summer School on Training And Research On Testing

TAROT (Training And Research On Testing) is a network created to foster the mobility of students, faculty members and research scientists working in the field of testing of software and communication systems. Because of its success, this network continued beyond its original Marie Curie Research Training Network funding.
This summer school brings together lecturers, researchers, students and people from the industry across Europe for one week of presentations, discussions and getting to know each other.
The main goal of the TAROT Summer School is to give researchers and particularly PhD students the opportunity to follow a number of tutorials or invited talks by key experts in the field. The TAROT Summer School is open to researchers from any institution in the world, working in the area of testing, both from academia and from industry.
