societal changes are all around us and universities in Europe
are undergoing fundamental changes. Department chairs at
informatics groups face ever-increasing challenges. The goal of
the workshop is to provide a networking opportunity for
department chairs, old and new, to share experiences, common
challenges, and best practices. It provides a forum for
strengthening your leadership and management competencies by
exchanging best practices and by building relationships among
department heads at European Informatics research institutions.
This year's meeting focuses on an issue that is changing across
Europe: faculty promotions. The US tenure-track system is
well-known and almost treated as a standard. But there are many
systems used across Europe and they are undergoing major
changes.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

you have found to work. The workshop focuses on current
procedures and practices for faculty promotion. Both new and
experienced department heads are invited for an exchange of best

trend has recently emerged toward making the experimental

agree on how experimental methods are supposed to impact their
theory and practice. This workshop is intended to give a home
to interests in, and concerns about, the role and relevance of

Does it make sense to 'import' traditional experimental
principles (such ad comparison, reproducibility,
repeatability, justification, explanation) from traditional
scientific disciplines into computer science and engineering?
On the one side, the application of these principles allows
for a more rigorous approach to experiments within computer
science and engineering; on the other side, these principles
are valid for disciplines (such as physics and biology) that
aim at understanding and explaining natural phenomena, whereas
computer science and engineering realize artifacts.<o:p></o:p></span></strong></p>

What does it mean to make experiments in computer science and
