<p>Dear Colleagues,</p>
<p>We are very happy to inform you about important updates we had
this year in our <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://www.informatics-europe.org/data/higher-education/">Informatics
Higher Education Data Portal</a>, a platform created in 2019
with the goal of providing its members, the Informatics academic
community, policymakers, industry and other stakeholders a
complete and reliable picture of the state of Informatics
(Computer Science, Computing, IT, ICT) higher education in Europe.</p>
<p>The following new data were included:<br>
</p>
<ul>
<li><b><a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://www.informatics-europe.org/data/higher-education/academic-salaries/">Academic
salaries</a></b>, <b><a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://www.informatics-europe.org/data/higher-education/academic-positions/">academic
positions and titles</a></b> in 17 European countries</li>
<li>A detailed description of the different national <b><a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://www.informatics-europe.org/data/higher-education/higher-education-systems/">higher
education systems</a></b><br>
</li>
<li>Statistics of students enrolled and degrees awarded, a list of
subjects identifying Informatics programs and a list of
universities and academic units offering Informatics higher
education (with direct links to their websites) for two
important large countries - <b>France and Turkey</b>. Including
these two countries, now the data portal covers <b>23 European
countries</b>! <br>
</li>
</ul>
<p>The annual update of the statistics of students enrolled and
degrees awarded at Bachelor’s, Master’s and PhD level, including
gender distribution was also carried on, including now the <b>2018/19
academic year</b>. Currently, the data portal reports statistics
over <b>9 academic years</b>!</p>
<p>The portal is one of the most useful and important services
Informatics Europe offers to its members. It provides plenty of
opportunities for data visualization and in-depth analyses of key
trends, issues, and aspects that need or could be improved with a
better understanding of the higher education system in the field.<br>
</p>
<p><b>Members of Informatics Europe have the additional benefit of
having privileged access and download rights for the <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://www.informatics-europe.org/data/higher-education/download.html">whole
dataset</a>.</b><br>
</p>
<p>We thank everyone who contributed to find and interpret data at a
national level allowing its inclusion in the dataset and providing
an opportunity to make the status of Informatics education in
their countries better known at European level. If your country is
not yet on the portal and you can help to find and to interpret
statistics for your country, please contact <a
