CEPIS International Conference on Digital Skills and IT Professionalism 2025

The Council of European Professional Informatics Societies (CEPIS)—part of the EIT Deep Tech Talent Initiative—will hold its second International Conference on Digital Skills and IT Professionalism (ICODSIP) at the University of Alcalá in Spain on 6–7 November 2025.

The event will focus on two clear goals:

• Building a world-class IT profession – exploring standards, career paths, and ethics that keep pace with breakthrough tech.

• Boosting digital skills for all – sharing proven ways to bring every citizen along for the ride

Both aims support the EU’s 2030 targets: 20 million IT specialists and 80 % of citizens with at least basic digital skills. As digital technology becomes a bigger part of daily life, Europe needs more well-trained IT experts who can keep pace with rapid change.
