This was the first time the conference was held digitally but even though we couldn’t meet in person the days were filled with discussions and networking. During STEW the participants listened to several interesting speakers that all talked about their view on the theme – Data for Software Development.

Networking and knowledge exchange
So besides listening to interesting speakers a large part of the conference also consisted of virtual discussions and workshops with all participants. During the breaks a lot of the participants took the opportunity to take part in digital networking that were offered. There were a lot of engaging and interesting discussions where several new contacts and new opportunities for cooperation were created. Something we are very happy about since the emphasis of STEW is on two main areas; networking and knowledge exchange.
STEW has since 2011 been arranged with the purpose to create exchange between academia, industry and the public sector, something we believe was achieved with great result. We want to send a big thank you to all the co-host, speakers and participants who together made STEW 2020 a great conference!
