Dear Members, In this issue, we’d like to express again our heartfelt appreciation to everyone’s support in ECSS 2022 last month, making the Summit another remarkable IE event. As mentioned during our Special “Dialogues with Members” session, let’s actively contribute in proposing and jointly developing IE activities to strengthen the European informatics community! In this issue:
ECSS 2022 – Workforce for the Digital TransformationHighlightsFollowing one online and one hybrid summits in the past two years, the 18th edition of the European Computer Science Summit (ECSS 2022) returned as a full in-person event between 24 and 26 October in Hamburg, Germany. Speakers and participants across Europe and from as far as the U.S. joined the summit to present and discuss hot topics related to this year’s main theme “Workforce for the Digital Transformation”.

European Commission’s Ethical Guidelines on the Use of Artificial Intelligence & Data in Teaching and Learning for EducatorsFrom July 2021 to October 2022, Prof. Viola Schiaffonati (Politecnico di Milano, IT), served as IE representative at the European Commission Expert Group on AI and Data in Education and Training. The group assisted the Directorate General for Education, Youth, Sports, and Culture with the preparation of practical guidelines for primary and secondary school educators, with concrete practices on the ethical implications of AI and data use in education and training. Besides supporting the cooperation and the exchange of information, expertise, and best practices between the Commission and relevant stakeholders, the members of this group also helped to raise awareness within the education and training sectors about the opportunities and risks of the use of AI and data. As a result of this work, on October 25, the European Commission released the ethical guidelines on the use of artificial intelligence and data in teaching and learning for educators. Informatics Europe is proud to have initiated this important work! You can find more details under the EU commission press corner page, the article on europa.eu and the article on DEAP website.
