[svetlana.tikhonenko at informatics-europe.org]

Dear Colleagues,

Informatics Europe (IE) has recently updated its Informatics Higher 
Education Data Portal 
<https://www.informatics-europe.org/data/higher-education/> with the 
data of 2021/22 academic year. We are also proud to announce that a 
related article 
<https://www.informatics-europe.org/component/phocadownload/category/12-articles.html?download=200:informatics-higher-education-in-europe-a-data-portal-and-case-study> 
has been published in the November 2023 issue of the Communications of 
the ACM Journal.

The Portal now covers statistics of *12 academic years for 23 countries* 
on students enrolled and degrees awarded at Bachelor’s, Master’s and PhD 
levels, including information on gender distribution. For selected 
countries, the Portal provides additional data, such as comparative 
analysis of*key academic positions *and related *employment details*, 
including estimations of *academic salaries*. The *full downloadable 
dataset* is exclusively available to faculty and researchers of IE 
members <https://www.informatics-europe.org/join-us/current-members.html>.

Prepared by members of the Informatics Europe Working Group on Data 
Analysis and Reporting, the article 
<https://www.informatics-europe.org/component/phocadownload/category/12-articles.html?download=200:informatics-higher-education-in-europe-a-data-portal-and-case-study> 
*“Informatics Higher Education in Europe: A Data Portal and Case Study”* 
was recently *published in the Communications of the ACM Journal.* It 
describes the IE Higher Education Data Portal functionalities and offers 
- by way of case study research - a data-driven perspective over how 
informatics education can be studied and improved in a data-driven 
fashion. We thank the article’s authors *Elisabetta Di Nitto* and 
*Damian A. Tamburri* (Politecnico di Milano), *Ismael García-Varea* 
(University of Castilla-La Mancha), *Mehdi Jazayeri* (Universita' della 
Svizzera Italiana) and *Svetlana Tikhonenko *(Informatics Europe) for 
their contribution and efforts in preparing this study.

Our continued work on the Data Portal, one of IE’s most used and valued 
services, aims to empower the informatics community to better understand 
trends and improve issues in informatics (Computer Science, Computing, 
IT, ICT)  higher education in Europe. We invite you to support us in the 
creation and contribution of analytical outputs and reports as well as 
the improvement of the IE Data Portal functionalities by *joining our 
**Data Analysis and Reporting working group*
