Fostering Collaboration in the Modelling, Verification and Evolution Research Communities in Belgium

For more than 20 years, the Belgian Science Policy has been promoting the Interuniversity Attraction Poles (IAP) programme, with the aim of providing an incentive for the formation of excellent research networks. As a means to achieve this goal, the IAP programme focuses on fostering collaboration between research groups, rather than on research results. It is within this programme that five years ago the "Fundamental Issues in Software Engineering: Modelling, Verification and Evolution of Software" (MoVES) project was founded. We report here on how this project was able to both advance the state-of-the-art in the domain of software evolution, and form a cohesive national research network.
