Future of the European Scientific Societies in Informatics

At the ECSS 2010 in Prague a panel with representatives from ACM Europe, CEPIS, EAI, ERCIM, EAPLS, EATCS and Informatics Europe was convened to discuss the current situation and future prospects of the European scientific societies in Informatics. The panel decided to move from vision to action and extend the discussion on the actual form, mission and realization of a "strong but low overhead" platform for cooperative activity among the ICST societies. On March 17, 2011 the panel reconvened in extended form to discuss the options for an actual format for the cooperative activity among ICST societies and for possible concrete steps towards the creation of a platform for collaboration. A task group was formed to study and develop a blueprint for an "open" platform organization for closer contact and cooperation among these societies in Europe.
