ACM Europe Council
Serving the European Computing Science Community
ACM announces the ACM Europe Council:
16 leading European computer scientists from
academia and industry to spearhead expansion of
ACM's high-quality technical activities, conferences
and services in Europe.
“Our goal is to share ACM’s vast array
of valued resources and services on
a global scale. We want to discover
the work and welcome the talent
from all corners of the computing
arena so that we are better positioned to appreciate the key issues
and challenges within Europe’s academic, research, and professional
computing communities, and
respond accordingly,” says
Professor Dame Wendy Hall,
U. of Southampton (UK),
ACM President.
Supporting the European Computing
Community
ACM Europe aims to strengthen the European
computing community at large, through its
members, chapters, sponsored conferences and
symposia. Together with other scientific societies,
it helps make the public and decision makers
aware of technical, educational, and social issues
related to computing.
A European Perspective Within ACM
The ACM Europe Council brings a unique European
perspective inside ACM and helps increase visibility of ACM across Europe, through:
; Participation of Europeans throughout ACM
; Representation of European work in ACM

ACM – World’s Largest Educational
and Scientific Computing Society -
Since 50 years, ACM strengthens the computing
profession’s collective voice through strong leadership, promotion of the highest standards, and
recognition of technical excellence. ACM supports
the professional growth of its members by providing opportunities for life-long learning, career
development, and professional networking.
Fabrizio Gagliardi, ACM
Europe Chair and Director of
External Research Programs,
Microsoft Research Europe says,
“By strengthening ACM’s ties in the
region and raising awareness of its
many benefits and resources with
the public and European decision-makers, we can play an active role
in the critical technical, educational,
and social issues that surround the
computing community.”
ACM is present in Europe with 15 000 members
and 41 chapters. 23 ACM Turing Awards and other
major ACM awards have gone to individuals in
Europe. 215 Europeans received an Advanced
Membership Grade since 2004.
