Dear Colleagues,
<p>We are pleased to inform you that our <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://www.informatics-europe.org/data/higher-education/"><b>Informatics
Higher Education Data Portal</b></a> has recently been updated
with the data of <b>2020/21 academic year</b>. The Portal now
covers statistics of <b>11 academic years for 23 countries</b> on
students enrolled and degrees awarded at Bachelor’s, Master’s and
PhD level, including gender distribution. Other data is also
available in the Portal for selected countries, such as a
comparative analysis of some <b>key academic positions</b> and
corresponding <b>employment details</b>, including estimations of
<b>academic salaries.</b></p>
<p>Created in 2019, the Portal aims at providing the informatics
community of academics, policymakers, industry and other
stakeholders, a complete and reliable picture of the state of
Informatics (Computer Science, Computing, IT, ICT) higher
education in Europe. With plenty of opportunities for data
visualization and in-depth analyses, the first five-year dataset
is publicly available. After a quick <a moz-do-not-send="true"

<p>With this Data Portal, one of IE's most used and valued services,
we empower the informatics community to better understand trends
and improve issues in the European higher education system. If you
