Formal Methods Europe (FME, www.fmeurope.org) is a worldwide association
bringing together researchers and practitioners in formal methods for
developing computing systems and software. We aim to encourage both
research and application by disseminating research findings and industrial
experience through symposia, sponsored events and special interest groups.

We organize a symposium every 18 months, approximately. Each symposium
attracts between 125 and 500 participants from all over the world. We
anticipate holding the 17th such symposium in Spring/Summer 2011 and now
invite proposals from any group or institution wishing to host this major
event.

We stress that the location of the symposium is not restricted to Europe.
The event combines a regular scientific symposium with related activities
such as tutorials, events for research students, exhibitions of tools,
products, research projects and publishers. Innovation in the format and
content is encouraged.
