This article reports on the European Computer Science Summit which took place in October 2005. The summit brought together, for the first time, computer science (CS) department heads throughout Europe and its periphery. This event was a joint undertaking of the CS departments of the two branches of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology: EPFL and ETH. The program featured two keynotes and a number of panels and workshops on themes like research policy, curriculum harmonization, attracting students, teaching CS to non-CS students, existing national initiatives, and plans to create a Europe-wide organization.
