The ACM Europe Public Policy Committee (EUACM), a standing committee of the ACM Europe Council, promotes dialogue and the exchange of ideas on technology and computing policy issues with the European Commission, member states' governmental bodies, and the informatics and computing communities. Chaired by Fabrizio Gagliardi, the Committee promotes sound public policy and public understanding of a broad range of issues at the intersection of technology and policy.
The DSP is an outreach program of ACM that brings distinguished speakers from academia, industry, and government to give presentations to ACM chapters, members, and the greater IT community in a variety of venues and formats. The Distinguished Speakers Program has been in existence for over twenty years. ACM headquarters will reimburse lecturers for their travel expenses; chapters are responsible for local expenses.
Planned activities: a general track with panels and invited speakers. Plenary sessions of womENcourage, a career fair, HiPEAC workshops, a policy event with representatives of the European Commission and national funding agencies, an ACM Fellow celebration and meetings of ACM Europe Council and subcommittees. Other corollary events are being considered.
