Asst. Prof. Eray Tüzün of the Department of Computer Engineering was elected to be a member of The International Software Engineering Research Network (ISERN). The board has currently 56 members from around the world, with Dr. Tüzün being the only one from Turkey.

The International Software Engineering Research Network (ISERN) is a global community of several research groups who are active in experimental software engineering. Its purpose is to advance the practice of and foster university and industry collaborations within experimental software engineering. ISERN holds annual meetings in conjunction with the International Symposium on Empirical Software Engineering and Measurement (ESEM).
