RE 2027 — 35th IEEE International Requirements Engineering Conference

RE 2027, the 35th IEEE International Requirements Engineering Conference, runs 23-27 August 2027 at Politecnico di Milano in Milan, Italy. The 2027 theme is 'The Human Element in RE: Evolving Skills and New Forms of Teaming', framed as a direct response to AI entering requirements practice: the organisers argue that human judgment, skills, values and collaboration remain essential even as the tooling changes underneath them. The call is being built around requirements-engineering professional development, human-AI collaboration methods, ethical principles in requirements, and how team structures evolve as AI is absorbed into RE work. RE is the premier annual international conference for requirements-engineering researchers and practitioners, running under IEEE sponsorship for more than three decades; recent editions were held in Valencia (2025), Reykjavik (2024), Hannover (2023) and Melbourne (2022). Individual track calls and submission deadlines have not been announced yet.

Requirements is the discipline that decides what an AI system is permitted to do, and it is the one most enterprises quietly skipped on the way to a pilot. RE 2027's theme aims straight at that gap: how teams restructure when AI drafts the specification, which ethical constraints belong in the requirements rather than in a downstream review board, and what skills the people writing them now need. For a CIO or head of transformation, this is the venue that connects AI governance obligations to the artefacts engineers actually build from, and its Milan host puts it inside the European regulatory conversation rather than commenting on it from outside.

• ✓Conference theme: 'The Human Element in RE: Evolving Skills and New Forms of Teaming'
• ✓Solicited area: human-AI collaboration methods in requirements engineering
• ✓Solicited area: RE professional development and evolving skills
• ✓Solicited area: ethical principles in requirements
• ✓Solicited area: evolving team structures as AI integrates into RE practice

• ★A 2027 theme explicitly about human-AI teaming, so the programme is pre-focused on where AI meets specification work rather than treating it as one track among many
• ★IEEE-sponsored and running for more than thirty years with an international venue rotation — the reference venue for requirements engineering, not a workshop inside a larger software conference
• ★Solicits work on ethical principles in requirements, which is where AI-governance obligations stop being policy and become engineering artefacts
• ★Hosted at Politecnico di Milano, one of Europe's largest engineering schools, inside the EU's regulatory conversation on AI
