<p>Dear Colleagues,</p>
<div class="moz-forward-container">
<p>Our annual <b>European Computer Science Summit (ECSS)</b> is
returning <b>with the </b><b>main theme “Informatics: Shaping
the Future” on 23-25 October 2023 in Edinburgh, UK</b> — and
we want to ensure you will be there!<br>
</p>
This year’s summit is <b>co-organised with our member institute <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://www.ed.ac.uk/informatics/">the School of
Informatics of the University of Edinburgh</a></b>, who
celebrates 60 years of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Computer
Science research. Devoted to <b>crucial and timely strategic
issues and trends regarding all aspects of informatics</b>, ECSS
continues to be the unique opportunity where we gather for
knowledge exchange, networking and strategy-setting activities in
informatics and related disciplines. <b>We call for the
participation of the community at ECSS 2023, in particular of
informatics research and education leaders at all levels. </b><br>

Theme Session: “Informatics: Shaping the Future”</a><br>
Informatics advances have a profound impact on our way of
living, which places great responsibility on us as leaders and
researchers in informatics. In this session, we will learn more
about some of the hot topics, such as quantum computing, health
or languages models, and discuss how to leverage our knowledge
and talent in shaping our dream future through informatics.<br>
<br>
<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://www.informatics-europe.org/ecss/program/session-with-industry.html">Two
Academia-Industry Sessions</a><br>
Highlighting the needs and challenges around highly topical
issues such as life-long learning of informatics professionals
and commercialization of research, speaker talks and panel
discussions will bring the academic as well as the industrial
viewpoints on these topics. Don’t miss this unique opportunity
to discuss how to jointly tackle these issues as a community.<br>
<br>
<a moz-do-not-send="true"

and the Future of Informatics Education</a> <br>
Co-organised with our member National Informatics Associations
and open to all participants, the workshop will focus on the
impact on the practice of software engineering education, as
well as the broader impacts on the informatics curriculum and
educational practices. The progress of the Open Science working
group initiatives, discussed at last year’s ECSS, will also be
reviewed.<br>
