Press release 29 september 2007: The European Information Technology and Telecommunications (ICT) sector is working towards an e-Competence Framework applicable Europe-wideA common European reference framework of ICT core competencies adopted by industry will bring major benefits to education, training, industrial and social partners across Europe. This European multistakeholder effort, co-funded by the European Commission and driven by ICT vendor and user industry’s needs, will provide significant support to ICT skills development across the European Union. The framework scheduled to be ready for Europe-wide use by autumn 2008, addresses participants seeking to maximise effectiveness of IT/IS services and infrastructure through competence development. International cooperation within Europe is central to the development and deployment of IT standards and reference systems. This initiative managed by CEN/ISSS on behalf of the European Commission will provide a significant boost to ICT Skills development across the European Union. The ambitious programme is today’s main project of the CEN/ISSS ICT-Skills Workshop, chaired by Mr Geoff McMullen, President of CEPIS (Council of European Professional Informatics Societies). The development of the European e-Competence Framework acting as a common reference for other national frameworks such as AITTS (Germany), CIGREF (France) and SFIA (UK), it is argued, will maximise the flexibility, mobility and cost-effectiveness of IT skills and human resource development across Europe. The European e-Competence Framework, closely related to the European Qualifications Framework (EQF), will provide an international human resources planning and development tool for a range of ICT participants including ICT practitioners, ICT managers in addition to higher and tertiary education and training providers. CEN/ISSS Workshop Chairman Geoff McMullen commented: “We are proud to be contributing our expertise and support to such an important development within the European e-Skills Strategy. This will help industry and education to ensure that Europe has the highly skilled and qualified ICT personnel it needs for ensuring our competitiveness world wide.” Texts:

CEN - CEDEFOP -CEPIS THE STELLENBOSCH DECLARATION Introduction This declaration is the result of the expert group of educators and specialists of ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) in Education, from six continents, who met and worked together in Stellenbosch, South Africa from 4th to 7th July 2005 at the IFIP 8th World Conference on Computers in Education ("40 years of Computers in Education, What Works?") held by the IFIP Committee on Education (IFIP TC3). We, the members of the group, hope that this Stellenbosch Declaration will improve the integration of ICT in Education as a resource for both better teaching and learning and as a preparation of citizens for the Knowledge Society. We address this to all stakeholders in ICT in Education: teachers, practitioners, researchers, academics, managers, decision-makers and policy-makers, in order to increase the access to Education for everyone around the World. ...

Open Universiteit Nederland, Heerlen New IFIP publication: HUMAN CHOICE AND COMPUTERS edited by Klaus Brunnstein, University of Hamburg, Germany, Jacques Berleur, Facultés Universitaires Notre Dame de la Paix, Namur, Belgium The developments of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) are not always continuous but may be influenced and shaped by unforeseen events and are therefore difficult to predict and control. This applies especially to the impacts of September 11 (2001) events on how ICT is used in economic and public applications. But even under pressures of terrorist actions, it is essential that Human Choice dominate how Information and Communication Technologies are shaped, applied and used. Human Choice and Computers: Issues of Choice and Quality of Life in the Information Society presents different views about how terrorist actions are influencing political and social discussions and decisions, and it covers questions related to legitimacy and power in the Information Society. Ethical principles are important guidelines for responsible behavior of IT professionals. But even under strong external pressure, long ranging aspects such as education and the roles of developing countries in the Information Society are important to discuss, especially to enable all to actively participate in information processes. The topics covered in this book include: Quality of Life and Quality of Working Life; For a complete Table of Contents and Contributors listing, please go to Kluwer's web page for the book at http://www.wkap.nl/prod/b/1-4020-7185-X.
