Save the date: ECSS 2024 in Malta - 20 years of Informatics Europe
Get ready to join us for ECSS 2024, celebrating "20 years of Informatics Europe”, on October 28-30 in Malta!
As the flagship summit for Europe’s Informatics research leadership, ECSS 2024 remains committed to addressing vital strategic issues and trends across all aspects of informatics. With great honour, we welcome two keynote speakers this year, reflecting on the past and future of Informatics and its societal impact in Europe:
- Mark Harman from Meta Platforms Inc. and University College London, and
- Dorothea Wagner from Karlsruhe Institute of Technology.
Joining them for a panel discussion will be former IE Presidents Carlo Ghezzi, Lynda Hardman and Enrico Nardelli, fostering discussions and ensuring an engaging and inspiring Keynotes Session.
The Leaders Workshop, a longstanding fixture since the inaugural ECSS, will return with the theme “spotlight the challenges of managing interdisciplinarity and sustainability within research groups and departments” – a common hurdle that becomes more manageable when approached collectively.
We also call for participation in the Early Career Researchers Workshop tailored for PhD students and post-doctorates. Get ready to submit a manuscript to be considered for presentation at the Poster Session and the newly added PhD Symposium! Accepted manuscripts will also be considered for publication in the post-proceedings.
Workshops by various IE working groups will explore topics such as how to cultivate diversity and inclusion in Informatics, Green ICT, and best practices of academia/industry collaboration in higher education. Continuing from last year, AI and Research Evaluation will be the focus of the workshop organized in collaboration with our member National Informatics Associations. The Awards ceremony and the IE Annual General Assembly will enrich a truly inspiring 2024 program – discover our preliminary program and session details here.
This year's ECSS will be hosted at a hotel, offering attendees the chance to stay onsite and benefit from enhanced networking opportunities and a community atmosphere. There will also be a special celebratory activity: a short sightseeing tour in Mdina preceding the ECSS Official Dinner, a unique occasion for fresh inspiration and new connections.
Registration will open in June. Stay updated via our Summit website, LinkedIn and X - see you in Malta!
