<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Dear Informatics Europe
Members, Dear Colleagues,<br>
</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">We are happy to announce that the
full program of the ECSS 2015 is now online and registrations are
open. As in previous years the program is very exciting, with some
of the world's most distinguished academics on the stage, the
Summit will not be short of inspiration and stimulation.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The ECSS 2015 will be held in
Vienna, Austria, October 12-14, hosted by the Faculty of
Informatics, Vienna University of Technology. The central theme of
this year conference is <em><strong>"Informatics in the Future -
in the Year 2025"</strong></em>. Informatics as the science
behind IT has two faces: Informatics ´in itself´ and Informatics
´for others´ as a tool or methodological approach in other
sciences and application fields. It is interdisciplinary quasi by
nature. How will all these aspects and interconnections evolve?
How will computing scientists need to evolve? How will our
institutes and departments cater for that evolution? These and
other critical aspects related to Informatics in the future will
take centre stage at the ECSS 2015 with inspiring speakers
propelling us into the future.</p>
