  We propose a method to determine the running of $\alpha_{QED}$ from the
measurement of small-angle Bhabha scattering. The method is suited to high
statistics experiments at $e^{+} e^{-}$ colliders, which are equipped with
luminometers in the appropriate angular region. We present a new simulation
code predicting small-angle Bhabha scattering. A detailed description of this
idea can be found in A.B. Arbuzov, D. Haidt, C. Matteuzzi, M. Paganoni and L.
Trentadue, The running of the electromagnetic coupling alpha in small-angle
Bhabha scattering, Eur. Phys. J. C34, 267 (2004).
