Abstract

In this report, we discuss the results of the online survey conducted by Informatics Europe Working Group on the Wide Role of Informatics at Universities. The main goals were to understand the value universities place on interdisciplinary research and teaching, what happens in practice with hiring and supporting interdisciplinary academics, and what structures are in place to support interdisciplinary work. We also examined Data Science’s impact in detail, given its rapid rise and importance. Forty eight universities from nineteen European countries have participated in the survey providing answers on these strategic topics.
