Abstract

The current state of the IT practitioner labour market in Europe is considered, together with the role and contribution of the Council of European Professional Informatics Societies (CEPIS).

The growing contribution of the new European Certification for Informatics Professionals is flagged, and the paper concludes with some suggestions for policy priorities at the European level.
