                       CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
             The European Computer Science Summit 2010

We are now soliciting contributions on themes of interest to the ECSS
audience: deans, research laboratory directors, professors and other
opinion leaders in informatics (computer science, IT etc.) throughout
Europe.

Like its predecessors, ECSS is the meeting place for anyone interested
in issues of research, education and policy in informatics. For the
first time, ECSS moves to the Eastern half of the continent, in
Prague, one of the most beautiful cities in the world, filled with
cultural, artistic and historical references.

Invited speakers include some of the most prestigious names in the
field from Europe, the US and elsewhere. The program will also include
presentations of papers submitted in response to the present Call.
