Ambassador of Poland,
Bogdan Bereza (Victo, Poland)
“Why I support REFSQ: never in the field of information technology has so much been owed by so many to a so neglected area: requirements engineering is absolutely crucial to IT success, yet is is often not visible behind more fashionable and popular subjects like corporate architecture, governance, compliance, BPR, business analysis and project management. If IT is to improve its ways, the importance of RE must be stressed on every occasion.”

Bogdan Bereza is owner of Victo.

Ambassador of Sweden,
Stefan Eekenulv (INCEPTIVE, Sweden)
“REFSQ´15 is interested in the FUTURE of RE and how we can use RE for solving our society´s great problems. Using Requirements Engineering as an important tool to Explore, Understand, Analyse and Design Solutions for conflicts, the “peoplequake” and immigration, environmental issues etc. The smarter the machines, the more important it will be to really understand what we want, and the consequences of the development.”

Stefan Eekenulv is a Requirements Expert, coach and teacher at INCEPTIVE. He is also active as a freelancer in the field of requirements engineering.
