Allow me to bring to your attention the euroTICS Tech Watch digest,
published every Friday and reporting about events of interest to the
computer science community, with a special (but not exclusive) focus on
Europe. You can subscribe, and browse past issues, at
http://www.eurotics.org/techwatch.html
The Tech Watch digest is published on behalf of euroTICS, the newly
created European University and Research Organization for the
Technologies of Informatics and Computer Science. euroTICS membership
(for institutions, not people) is open to all PhD-granting universities
in the European region, as well as industrial affiliates. The next
euroTICS summit will be held in Zurich on 16-17 October; see
