IE Perspectives invites contributions from across the Informatics Europe community, including deans and department heads, researchers, educators, and in particular, members of IE Working Groups. We particularly invite articles that align with one of the magazine’s core sections:

• Trends: forward-looking analyses of emerging research areas, educational developments, or structural changes affecting Informatics as a discipline.
• Research Advances: accessible presentations of significant research projects, illustrating scientific progress and collaborative potential across Europe.
• Leading Practices: descriptions of transferable experiences, proven practices, methodologies, tools, or project outcomes that can be adopted or adapted by the wider community and support departments and researchers in addressing common organisational and strategic challenges.
• Voices: policy positions, informed opinions or more personal or provocative contributions stimulating debate and reflection on Informatics in Europe.

Contributions should address topics of strategic relevance to the European Informatics research and education community.
