ACM Europe Council
The ACM Europe Council was created by ACM to recognize and support European ACM members and activities.
About the ACM Europe Council
The ACM Europe Council aims to increase the level and visibility of ACM activities across Europe. The Council is comprised of European computer scientists committed to fostering the visibility and relevance of ACM in Europe, and is focused on a wide range of European ACM activities, from high-quality ACM conferences in Europe, to expanding ACM chapters, to encouraging greater participation of Europeans in all dimensions of ACM.
Goals
- Join with other computing and scientific organizations in Europe to offer new programs and activities
- Encourage nominations of ACM European members for the advanced member grades of Senior Member, Distinguished Member, and Fellow
- Work with ACM SIGs to increase the number of ACM conferences in Europe
- Increase the number of ACM chapters and level of chapter activity in Europe
ACM Europe and IE Release Informatics Education Strategy
The ACM Europe Council and Informatics Europe have collaborated on a report that builds on an earlier document, "Informatics Education in Europe: Are We All in the Same Boat?". The report, "Informatics for All: The Strategy," aims to establish Informatics as an essential discipline for all, a subject available at all levels throughout the educational system. The strategy is also summarized in a one-page document.
Europe TPC, IE Recommendations on Automated Decision Making
The white paper "When Computers Decide: European Recommendations on Machine-Learned Automated Decision Making" presents the views of the ACM Europe Technology Policy Committee and Informatics Europe (IE) on the challenges posed by the increasing presence of Machine Learning and Automated Decision Making (ADM) systems in almost every aspect of modern human life.
First-Ever Global Curriculum Guidelines in Cybersecurity
After an extensive two-year process, a joint task force led by the ACM, IEEE Computer Society (IEEE-CS), Association for Information Systems Special Interest Group on Security (AIS SIGSEC), and the International Federation for Information Processing Technical Committee on Information Security Education (IFIP WG 11.8) has released a first-ever set of global curricular recommendations for post-secondary degree programs in cybersecurity education.
ACM US and Europe Tech Policy Committees Issue Statement on IoT Privacy and Security
The ACM US Technology Policy Committee and the ACM Europe Technology Policy Committee have released a Statement on Internet of Things Privacy and Security addressing existing and expected privacy and security concerns in the IoT ecosystem. The principles in the statement propose policy and technical approaches to tackle privacy and security challenges while ensuring that the technology continues to move forward.

Meet Emmanuel Dubois
Emmanuel Dubois is a Professor of Computer Science at the University of Toulouse. He also leads the Interaction and Collective Intelligence Department (ICI) at the Computer Science Research Institute of Toulouse (IRIT). His research is focused on advanced techniques to facilitate the interaction of large information spaces, such as smart buildings and smart cities. Dubois serves as the Vice Chair of the ACM SIGCHI Toulouse Chapter. In his interview, Dubois discusses his first contact with HCI, exploring how to best combine and use mobile devices, head-mounted displays, and physical artefacts, and more.
