Keynotes Session
In honor of Informatics Europe's 20th anniversary, we were pleased to welcome distinguished speakers to deliver keynote speeches at ECSS 2024 during a special session dedicated to 'Reflecting on the Past and the Future of Informatics in Europe'. Our keynote speakers were accompanied by Informatics Europe's former Presidents for a panel discussion following the keynote, where they shared their perspectives on the technical advancements in Informatics over the past 20 years and its ongoing societal impact.
This session was held on Tuesday, 29 October and was chaired by current IE President Jean-Marc Jézéquel from IRISA / University of Rennes and former President Enrico Nardelli from the University of Rome 'Tor Vergata'. The audience was presented with an inspiring session exploring how we, as the Informatics Europe community, can collaborate to advance Informatics research and education, and advocate for policies that foster positive and sustainable changes through Informatics across Europe.
