Between September 22–25, 2025, the 4th edition of the biannual Software Product Assurance Conference took place at ESTEC (the European Space Research and Technology Centre) in Noordwijk, the Netherlands.

This edition provided an update on the current state and trends in the field of software product assurance, covering presentations related to software solutions, cybersecurity, model-based and agile software engineering and assurance, software process assessment, and offered an excellent opportunity to meet international experts in the fields of software product assurance, quality, and engineering.

Dr. Ana Caramete, Dr. Carina Raportaru, and Eng. Andreea Monica Scorța, members of the ASPACE-Q group, attended the event, having the opportunity to discuss various topics and exchange ideas with representatives from industry and academia, gaining a broader perspective on how different standards are applied across various domains.

In addition, Dr. Ana Caramete and Dr. Laurențiu Caramete were co-authors of the PA/QA presentation for the LISA mission, delivered during the conference. The presentation was enthusiastically received by the audience, offering many insights into the approach to PA/QA processes within the LISA mission.
