Dear Members and Colleagues, ECSS in October: it’s the exciting time of the year where the Informatics Europe community gathers in-person to discuss critical issues, initiate and follow up collaborative actions to promote informatics research and education. On one hand, we are in full gear making the final preparations for this year’s ECSS in Hamburg, Germany; on the other hand, we are making new progresses in other European projects. Read on to find out more, and we hope to see you in Hamburg to share your views with us! In this issue:
ECSS Final Call: Join Our Annual In-person Networking Event for Informatics Researchers & ProfessionalsIn less than two weeks, European Computer Science Summit (ECSS) 2022 will happen in Hamburg, Germany. ECSS is our annual occasion for all IE members and informatics researchers of all career levels to meet in-person for strategic discussion and networking in support of the advancement of informatics research, education and policies. We invite you to join us at our three-day summit, this year featuring nine different workshops and sessions on a broad range of topics:
New Release: Eurydice Report on Informatics Education at School in EuropeInformatics education at school plays a key role in meeting the demand for digitally competent citizens and workers. Informatics education equips people with the basic knowledge required to participate, influence and contribute to the development of the digital world. Department Evaluation: IE visits the Faculty of Informatics at Masaryk UniversityOn 6-7 September, our member institute Faculty of Informatics, Masaryk University (FI MU) welcomes the IE Evaluation Committee for an on-site visit, as part of the department evaluation service provided by IE. During the two-day visit, we exchanged with students, young and senior faculty as well as visiting their facilities, in particular four labs: Centre for Biomedical Image Analysis, Laboratory of Discrete Methods and Algorithms, Laboratory of Data Intensive Systems and Applications, and Natural Language Processing Centre. Our Evaluation Committee is now finalizing the evaluation report of this faculty and will soon deliver the results to FI MU. We would like to thank FI MU again for choosing our Service and hope the report will contribute to short and long-term strategies enhancing FI MU’s research visibility, quality, and impact. European-Funded Project – EUGAIN: first booklet of the EUGAIN Best Practices series publishedAs grant holder of COST Action European Network For Gender Balance in Informatics (EUGAIN), we are delighted to announce the first publication of the EUGAIN Best Practices Series: Best Practices from PhD to Professor. The publication is one of the eight deliverables which document EUGAIN’s effort and results in supporting the academic community, policymakers, industry and other stakeholders on addressing key challenges of achieving gender equality in informatics. EUGAIN will again join us at ECSS 2022 this year with a 1-day workshop – come join us for inspiring talks and best practices shared by experts and advocates of gender equality in informatics across Europe!
