MERE strives to make requirements engineering more engaging, desirable and rewarding in order to increase its impact on the value creation chain. Improving the interactions and interactivity between stakeholders will allow requirements engineers to accommodate a more diverse audience, thereby facilitating improved input to requirements development as early and often as practical. As communication can occur in forms other than written or spoken natural language, such as facial expression or gesture, we draw inspiration for processes and representations from domains as diverse as the movie and game industries, storytelling, improvisation theater, industrial design, marketing, and media production. MERE provides an opportunity for researchers and practitioners to exchange new and innovative ideas relating to challenges in the domain.
