<span lang="EN-US" class="">Formal Methods provide software engineering with tools and techniques for rigorously reasoning about the correctness of systems. While in recent years formal methods are increasingly being used in industry, university curricula are
not adapting at the same pace. Some existing formal methods classes interest and challenge students, whereas others fail to ignite student motivation. We need to find ways to teach formal methods to the next generation, and doing so will require us to adapt
our teaching to the 21st century students.<o:p class=""></o:p></span></div>

computer science for future formal methods scientists. We will run two more tutorial presentations, held by Holger Hermanns and Bas Luttik, on experiences with concurrency and online teaching. Our goal is to discuss various models of existing FM teaching,
together with innovative proposals for remaining relevant as educators of Formal Methods in the 21st century. <o:p class=""></o:p></span></div>

taught worldwide, that can be seen, for the time being, here:</span><a href="https://github.com/luigiapetre/Formal-Methods-Courses/issues" class="" style="color: rgb(149, 79, 114);"><span lang="EN-US" class="" style="color: rgb(9, 79, 209);">https://github.com/luigiapetre/Formal-Methods-Courses/issues</span></a><span lang="EN-US" class="">

Springer LNCS Volume 3294), the FM-Ed 2006 workshop (Hamilton, co-located with FM'06), FORMED (Budapest, at ETAPS 2008), and FMET 2008 (Kitakyushu 2008, co-located with ICFEM). The latest event was TFM2009, the 2nd International FME Conference on Teaching
