We also include news from Member Societies in Germany, Hungary, Poland, and Switzerland. To send feedback or contributions from your Society for the September update, please email Michel Krmek.
What is the Status of Computing in Schools in Your Country?
The CEPIS Computing in Schools SIN has developed a short survey to get a better understanding of the development of computing in schools in each country, to gauge the interest of Member Societies and identify their activities in this area. The Computing in Schools SIN has started work on creating advocacy materials for CEPIS Member Societies with a view to helping them influence curricula and teachers at the national level. The results of the survey will help better tailor these advocacy materials to the needs of each Member Society. The survey consists of 15 questions and should take less than 10 minutes to complete.

Participate on the survey: International Dimension of e-skills and ICT Professionalism
Europe, like other regions, is confronted with a worrying ICT skills gap coupled with an ICT profession that is at a low level of maturity. As part of a research study commissioned by DG Enterprise and Industry, CEPIS and IVI are very keen to capture the opinions of Informatics societies on a number of issues related to e-skills and ICT professionalism. We would be very grateful if you would consider completing the online survey: International Dimension of e-skills and ICT Professionalism. This will take about 15 minutes to complete. By contributing to this project, we hope that you will be able to help shape future European Commission policy on this important topic. Take the survey
Next Meetings of the Computing in Schools SIN
The CEPIS Computing in Schools SIN will organise a second virtual meeting on Tuesday, 17 September 2013, at 15:30 CET to review the results of the online survey and to discuss how they will be integrated in the advocacy materials for Member Societies. An in-person meeting will also be organised on Monday, 7 October, in Brussels to finalise the advocacy materials which will be presented at the 51st Council meeting. If you would like to attend these meetings, please contact Michel Krmek.
CEPIS Women in ICT Task Force Welcomes New Members
The CEPIS Women in ICT Task Force recently welcomed two new participants: Skevie Skordallou from the Cyprus Computer Society (CCS) and Gillian Arnold from the British Computer Society (BCS). This Task Force was setup in March 2012 to bring together experts from Member Societies who are interested in the topic of women in ICT. Since then, the group has been meeting regularly and has been involved in several different activities. The next virtual meeting of the Women in ICT Task Force will be on Tuesday, 3 September 2013, at 11:00 CET. If you are interested in joining the Task Force or if you would like to appoint a representative from your Society, please contact Michel Krmek.

Swiss Informatics to Promote Software Specialist Titles
Software project failures are still a recurring problem for projects of all sizes and levels of complexity due to a lack of a renowned brand for professionals that possess software management skills. CEPIS Member Society in Switzerland, Swiss Informatics (SI), recently started a project aiming to provide computer science graduates the opportunity to obtain and retain specialist titles that distinguish them from other ICT professionals. SI is seeking European or even world-wide collaboration with professional societies that would also be interested in setting up such specialist titles. An important feature of these titles is that they would be awarded by a professional informatics society and not by the industry or an educational body. For more information, please contact Simon Moser. More on SI's Project on Software Specialist Titles

What are the Future Grand Challenges of Computer Science?
German Informatics (GI) established a new working group to assess what could be the grand challenges of computer science in the future. Given the high rate of innovation in computer science and its potential to change the world, identifying such major challenges may be pointing the way forward and give valuable impetus to this science. The working group has established a series of criteria to identify grand challenges, which are defined as fundamental problems whose solutions are elaborated with computer science and generate significant economic and social benefits. Individuals are invited to submit by 2 September 2013 what they consider to be a future grand challenge for computer science. More on Computer Science Grand Challenges
Enhancing Digital Literacy is a Priority for Local and Regional Authorities in the EU
74% local and regional authorities in the European Union (EU) have identified the development of digital literacy, skills and inclusion as the most relevant aim of the Digital Agenda for Europe (DAE), according to a survey carried by the Committee of the Regions. The survey aimed to assess the satisfaction of local and regional authorities with regards to the DAE and its implementation. Overall respondents considered that the definition of goals, the aspect of innovation and the creation of an information society are some of strongest points of the DAE. However respondents complained about the lack of guidance from the EU on how to implement the measures set by the DAE as well as the insufficient funding. More on the Committee of the Regions Survey on the DAE
EU Announces €22 Billion Investment in Research and Innovation
The European Commission, EU Member States, and European industry will invest over €22 billion over the next seven years in innovation for sectors that deliver high quality jobs such as electronics, aeronautics and bio-based industries. The majority of this investment will take the form of public-private partnerships, with €10 billion from industry, so as to provide strong public support to private research and innovation activities. This investment package will provide funding for large-scale, longer term, risky research and innovation initiatives in which the private sector may be unwilling to invest alone despite the potentially large economic and social returns. More on EU's Investment in Research and Innovation
Digital Skills for Jobs & Learning Report from the Digital Agenda Assembly 2013
The European Commission published a report on the Digital Agenda Assembly that was held in Dublin in June 2013. The report features a summary of the discussions held in the workshop on digital skills for jobs and learning, as well as in the other six workshops. The topics discussed in the workshop on digital skills focussed on the importance of coding for youth and the need to raise awareness about ICT careers among young girls. The workshop discussion also showed a common feeling of urgency among participants and a need for action. Read the Digital Agenda Assembly 2013 Report
New EU Rules to Tackle Cybercrime
New EU rules were recently adopted in order to better fight cybercrime and complement the recently adopted EU Cybersecurity Strategy. The Directive on attacks against information systems introduces new offences such as the use of botnets, i.e. networks of infected computers that can be remotely controlled to stage large-scale cyber attacks. The new rules aim to improve cross-border cooperation between Member States, and they include higher criminal sanctions that are necessary to fight more effectively such large scale attacks. The Directive also introduces the obligation to collect statistical data on cyber-attacks and for Member States to have channels in place to report the offences to competent authorities.
