The Institute for Software Integrated Systems at Vanderbilt University celebrates its 25th anniversary on September 7th, 2023.
A symposium with an exciting line-up of speakers will accompany the celebration.
The institute was formed on March 16, 1998, with a group of five researchers. Since then, the Institute has grown to over 150 people, generating along the way societally impactful research and technologies, influential researchers, and inspiring thought leaders. Several of you have been part of this journey as students, collaborators, sponsors, and mentors, and we view this event as a great opportunity to connect with our larger community. We hope you will join us in this celebration and help us plan the journey ahead.
