Connecting initiatives with expertise on challenges shared across the Informatics community in Europe.
Informatics Europe brings together pan-European expertise on cross-cutting issues that affect the Informatics discipline, its institutions and its community across Europe.
Through our Working Groups and wider network, we connect this expertise with conferences, training, policy discussions and other initiatives.
We help share knowledge and good practices in areas such as education research, research evaluation and development, institutional strategy, ethics, diversity and inclusion, sustainability, open science, (cross-cutting) data and next-generation support — all timely and shared challenges for our community.
Looking for an expert?
Need expertise on a cross-cutting Informatics area for a conference, workshop, training session, panel, consultation or other initiative? Our Working Groups can help identify experts from the IE community to contribute as speakers, trainers, advisors, reviewers or discussion partners.
Contact the Chair of the relevant IE Working Group directly to discuss your needs and identify suitable expertise. Chairs' personal webpages are available on each WG webpage.
