<p>Dear<strong> </strong>Colleagues,<strong><br>
</strong></p>
<p>Time for the annual <b>European Computer Science Summit - ECSS
2017</b>, to be held in Lisbon (October 23-25), is approaching
fast. <br>
</p>
<p>This year's main theme of the conference is <em><strong>"Informatics
Connects!"</strong></em>. The Summit will not be short of
inspiration and stimulation. It will feature talks on selected
“hot” topics related to connectivity, examples of successful
stories and engaging panel discussions. The Summit is of
interest to anyone with a stake in the future of Informatics
Research, Education and Innovation. Deans, Heads of Departments,
Professors, Researchers, Policymakers are all most welcome to
attend. For more details on the program please visit <a
href="http://www.informatics-europe.org/ecss/program/conference-program.html"><strong>ECSS
2017 Program.</strong></a> <br>
</p>
<p>Jointly with the ECSS main Summit (24-25 October), Informatics
Europe organises the <a
href="http://www.informatics-europe.org/ecss/workshop.html"><b>Workshop
for Deans and Heads of Informatics Departments</b></a> (23
October). The aim is to address specific challenges, best
practices, new approaches and practical strategies for Heads in
Informatics education & research.</p>
<p>You are therefore invited to <b><a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.informatics-europe.org/ecss/registration.html">register
to ECSS 2017</a></b><b> </b>and benefit from the early-bird
fees that apply until the <b>15th September</b>! <br>
</p>
<p>We also recommend to book your accommodation as soon as
possible, since Lisbon is a growing touristic destination. A
number of hotels are within a walking distance from NOVA
University, where the conference will take place. <br>
