Europe Technology Policy Committee (ETPC)

The ACM Europe Technology Policy Committee (ETPC) promotes dialogue and the exchange of ideas on technology and computing policy issues with the European Commission and other governmental bodies in Europe. The Committee engages in policy issues related to the importance of technology in boosting jobs, economic growth, competition, investment, research and development, education, inclusive social development, and innovation.

The Committee promotes sound public policy and public understanding of a broad range of issues at the intersection of technology and policy. Its policy statements reflect the expertise of ACM Europe Council professional members from the public and private sectors, experienced in informatics, computer science, and other computing-related subjects.

Steps to Join the EURTPC:

1 - Email the ACM Public Policy Office:

• Name, Location, Member ID, Bio. Examples of speaking engagements, policy work, and research publications.

2 - Contact the Chairs (emails in the sidebar) of the Subcommittee you are interested in.  Current subcommittees are:

Committee members will be expected to contribute regularly to conversations and meet (virtually). Membership in ETPC carries the same benefits as the category of a member's underlying ACM membership. Student members are very welcome, but they are non-voting. To keep the committee at a reasonable size, we will periodically remove members who have not participated in their committees’ work, those with expired memberships, and individuals who violate ACM’s code of conduct.
