Dear Colleagues, We would like to draw your attention to *FMTea 2026*, an event affiliated with the *27th International Symposium on Formal Methods* (FM 2026). FMTea is devoted to the discussion and exchange of ideas on effective approaches to teaching Formal Methods.
Please accept our apologies if you receive this message more than once. For further details, including the Call for Papers, please visit: * Website: https://fmtea.github.io/ * EasyChair Smart CFP: https://easychair.org/cfp/fmtea2026) We would be grateful if you could help us disseminate this call within your communities. Best regards, Gustavo and Tsutomu FMTea 2026 PC Chairs xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx CALL FOR PAPERS FMTea 2026 (https://fmtea.github.io/) invites high-quality papers reporting on opinions, approaches, and experiences related to the topic of teaching Formal Methods. We welcome papers discussing the successes and failures of various methods, case studies, tools, etc. As self-learning is an emerging aspect of formal methods, we appreciate experiences with online teaching, including experiences with teaching formal methods via MOOCs. A non-exhaustive list of topics of interest for the workshop is as follows: - Experiences and proposals related to "traditional" and online FM learning and teaching; - Innovative learning/teaching methods (e.g., automated grading/feedback using LLMs); - Integrating/embedding formal methods within other computer science courses; - Integrating/embedding FM teaching/thinking within other computer science courses; - Teaching formal methods for industry; - Student projects, including group projects. If applicable, we encourage authors to provide the following information in the paper: degree and level of students, delivery mode (in person, synchronous or asynchronous, blended, flipped classroom, etc.), number of students, assessment dynamics, languages and tools addressed. Venue FMTea 2026 is an event affiliated with FM 2026, the 27th International Symposium on Formal Methods (https://conf.researchr.org/home/fm-2026), and supported by the Teaching Committee (https://fme-teaching.github.io/) of the Formal Methods Europe (https://www.fmeurope.org/) Association.

The proceedings will be published in the Formal Methods Teaching series of Springer’s Lecture Notes in Computer Science ( https://link.springer.com/conference/tfm). Submissions must be in PDF format, using the Springer LNCS format ( https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines). Papers should not exceed 15 pages (excluding references and appendices) in length. Submissions should be made using the FMTea 2026 EasyChair website: https://easychair.org/conferences?conf=fmtea2026 All accepted papers must be presented at the workshop. Their authors must be prepared to sign a copyright transfer statement.

Use of AI by authors FMTea 2026 adheres to Springer's policy on AI use in papers. In brief: - Use of an LLM should be properly documented in the Methods section (and if a Methods section is not available, in a suitable alternative part) of the manuscript. - The use of an LLM (or other AI-tool) for “AI assisted copy editing” purposes does not need to be declared.
