<p>Dear Colleagues,<br>
<br>
Informatics Europe is partner in the <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://sites.google.com/dit.ie/ethics4eu/home">Erasmus+
Project Ethics4 EU - Ethical Computer Science Education for
Europe</a>. The Ethics4EU project, which got a total funding
of near half million euros, aims at creating open source, widely
used concrete resources for the teaching of Ethics in Computer
Science higher education programs across Europe.<br>
<br>
The digital ethical landscape is changing at an astonishing
rate, as technologies become more complex, and people choose to
interact with them in new and distinct ways. It is vitally
important that creators and developers of these technologies do
not live in an ethical vacuum, that they think about the impact,
uses and abuses of their creations, and take some measure to
prevent others being harmed by their work. To equip them with
the knowledge to rise to this challenge and create a positive
future for the use of technology, it is important that ethics
becomes integral part of Computer Science higher education
across Europe.<br>
<br>
Informatics Europe will be organizing a <b>multiplier event
within the Ethics4EU project in Zurich on 7 May 2020
(10:00-16:00) </b>at the <b>Institute of Informatics of the
University of Zurich</b>, in Oerlikon. The main goals of the
