## Welcome to SEFM 2020
The 18th edition of the International Conference on Software Engineering and Formal Methods will be held in **Amsterdam, The Netherlands** on **September 14--18, 2020**.
SEFM aims to bring together leading researchers and practitioners from academia, industry, and government, to advance the state of the art in formal methods, to facilitate their uptake in the software industry, and to encourage their integration within practical software engineering methods and tools.
##### SEFM 2020 will be an entirely virtual event
Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have decided that SEFM 2020 will not
take place physically but will be replaced by a virtual event.
As usual, a LNCS proceedings will be prepared and all accepted papers have
to be presented at the virtual conference.
