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.
