The idea of a Belgian research day on process mining (BPMRD) arose at a meeting of (mainly Belgian) process mining researchers at the international Conference on Advanced Information Systems Engineering (CAiSE) 2011 in London and took place for the first time in 2011 at Hasselt University. After the second edition in 2012 in Ghent, the initiative stagnated. In 2016, the initiative was re-launched and it fostered again inspiring research discussions.

With the advent of this international research community, the Belgian initiative is enriched with keynotes of the international community.
