Plans underway!

February 2015. Plans are underway to organise an IFIP WG9.2 meeting in the UK in February 2015, possibly on Monday 23rd February 2015 (more details about this a little later in the early new year). The idea is for the content to be similar to that planned for ETHICOMP 2015 (see below).
February 2015. A selected number of WG9.2 members – with an interest in education and computing – have been invited to attend and to present at a meeting co-organised with, among others, the International Baccalaureate. It is focused around plans for tomorrow’s digital citizens, thanks to IFIP WG9.2 member, Richard Taylor of the International Baccalaureate.
