MDENet is the expert network for model-driven engineering. I am the director of this EPSRC funded network, together with Perdita Stevens from the University of Edinburgh. More information about the network is available on the network website.
The network was funded by EPSRC from 2020 to 2023, with an extension into 2024, and led to the creation of an international network.
