Chair’s Message
Dr. Federica Sarro
TCSE Chair
University College London
The IEEE Computer Society is the world’s largest professional organization devoted to computer science and the TCSE (Technical Community on Software Engineering) is the voice of software engineering within the IEEE and the Computer Society. TCSE has the duty to advance awareness of software engineering and to support education and training through conferences, workshops, and other professional activities that contribute to the growth and enrichment of software engineering academics and professionals. This is your organization. It should serve you in terms of your professional growth, but it should also serve your business, your government, your financial environment, your health, your home and family, and your social networks.
Software is everywhere and is critical to the financial, environmental, physical, and social well-being of our world. As software engineers, we have incredible opportunities, and enormous responsibilities to society as a vibrant, multi-disciplinary, and rapidly expanding field. Consequently, the TCSE is in the privileged and also sensitive position to exert an enormous influence on the society.

IEEE TCSE Barbora Bühnová Leadership Award for Women in Science and Engineering (WISE)
Only a few months ago, on 5th December 2024, our dear and esteemed colleague Barbora (Bara) Buhnova passed away.
Bara was an Associate Professor and the Vice-Dean at Masaryk University, Brno. She devoted great part of her career to promoting gender equality in Informatics. She co-founded Czechitas, a non-profit organization aimed at making IT skills more accessible to youth and women, impacting over 30,000 people. Furthermore, she led several impactful initiatives within the Computer Science community, including serving as General Chair for the 8th ACM Celebration of Women in Computing (womENcourage 2021), an international event bringing women together from diverse interdisciplinary communities, and significantly contributing to the European Network for Gender Balance in Informatics (EUGAIN) in her role as vice-chair, just to name a few.
As a tribute to her legacy, the IEEE CS TCSE Executive Committee unanimously agreed on naming a TCSE Distinguished award after Bara, with the consent of her family: the “Barbora Bühnová Leadership Award for Women in Science and Engineering” award.
