Our annual summit remains committed to *addressing crucial and timely strategic issues and trends across all aspects of informatics.* Sharing their insights and experiences, reflecting on the past and future of Informatics and its societal impact in Europe, this year we are delighted to welcome *our keynote speakers* * Mark Harman from Meta Platforms Inc. and University College London, and * *Dorotea Wagner from Karlsruhe Institute of Technology*. Joining them for a panel discussion will be *founding and former IE Presidents, Bertrand Meyer, Carlo Ghezzi, Lynda Hardman and Enrico Nardelli*, fostering discussions and ensuring an engaging and inspiring Tuesday morning session. Informatics leaders and policymakers should make sure to attend the *Leaders Workshop *, a longstanding fixture since the inaugural ECSS. This year the workshop will *spotlight the challenges of managing interdisciplinarity and sustainability within research groups and departments* ? a common hurdle that becomes more manageable when approached collectively. For emerging informatics researchers, we continue to offer 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. *Benefit from mentoring and sessions with senior researchers to propel your academic career forward! *Workshops organized by different IE working groups* will cover topics such as *how to cultivate diversity and inclusion in Informatics, Green ICT, or best practices of academia/industry collaboration in higher education.* Following up on last year?s workshop, *AI and Research Evaluation* will be discussed during the *workshop organized with our member National Informatics Associations.* The *Awards ceremony* and the *IE Annual General Assembly* will round up a truly inspiring 2024 program ? *discover our preliminary program and session details here .* Additionally, participants can look forward to *a special celebratory activity: a short sightseeing tour in Mdina preceding the Official Dinner*, an ideal opportunity to gain fresh inspiration and build new connections. 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.* We have negotiated special rates (a direct booking link will be announced soon) and we recommend participants to book promptly as rooms are not pre-booked. Once again, *we invite the community to participate in ECSS 2024, especially informatics research and education leaders at all levels. Join us for another milestone* as we continue to foster exchange and work on strategic initiatives in informatics and related disciplines, bridging academia, industry and society at large! Registration will open in May/June, so keep in touch via our Summit website , LinkedIn ?and X !

Registration Fee: EUR 450 (IE Members), EUR 490 (Others) Apply electronically by 30 Jun 2024 with your motivation letter and CV. Read here for full application guidelines. *Places are limited and applications will be reviewed on a first-come-first-serve basis. Apply now!* ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The urgent need for investment in Informatics Education has been highlighted by the recent Recommendation of the Council of the EU. Being *the first and only summer school in Informatics Education Research in Europe*, SCHIER offers *PhD students, postdocs, or researchers in informatics and related fields* an immersion in cutting-edge research methods and theories necessary to be mastered to do research in Informatics Education. The School also aims at enlarging and consolidating a truly European community of researchers in this field. At SCHIER, participants can: * *Explore topics relevant to becoming a successful researcher in Informatics Education,* from the more foundational subjects to the more application-focused ones. * *Learn from renowned experts:* gain invaluable knowledge and experience from distinguished academic and industry scholars specializing in informatics and education research. * *Grow the community of Informatics Education researchers in Europe:* connect with like-minded researchers, build lasting connections and strengthen a relatively young community. We look forward to welcoming you at SCHIER 2024 for a transformative journey in Informatics Education Research.
