What is Informatics Europe?

Informatics Europe is the association of computer science departments of universities and research laboratories, public and private, in Europe and neighboring areas.

The mission of Informatics Europe is to foster the development of quality research and teaching in information and computer sciences, also known as Informatics.

Informatics Europe was created (originally under the name "euroTICS") as a result of the first two European Computer Science Summits (ECSS), held at ETH Zurich in October 2005 and October 2006, where heads of computer science departments from all over the European region joined forces for the first time to define and promote common policies and study common issues.

Informatics Europe is a nonprofit membership organization; members are organizations such as computer science departments of universities as well as public or private research laboratories. Informatics Europe maintains close ties with other academic and professional organizations.

Joining Informatics Europe as a member or industrial associate

Membership covers the calendar year and is now open for 2007. Informatics Europe members are institutions active in information technology, whether from universities, public research laboratories or private companies.

Stay ahead of the pack with the weekly Tech Watch Digest

Every Friday, the Informatics Europe Tech Watch Digest sends to your mailbox a tightly packed concentrate of new developments in information technology, in Europe and elsewhere, plus announcements of conferences and other events. Subscription is free and currently open to all.

Members: participate in working groups

Informatics Europe working groups examine issues of critical interest to the discipline, with the aim of producing reports and concrete results leading to direct action. At the 2006 ECSS, five working groups were created, each entrusted to deliver its conclusions in time for adoption at the next summit: evaluation criteria for CS/IT research; curriculum issues; image of the discipline; facts and figures about informatics in Europe; lobbying and strategy. Each group has a convener, a mailing list and a Wiki page (accessible to members) for discussions.
