Abstract

Informatics is a relatively new discipline, nowadays of key importance in all economic processes. Many professionals are needed with different informatics backgrounds. The Informatics Curriculum Framework 2000 (ICF-2000) has been designed to cope with a large diversity in demands for informatics education in a controlled way. It offers 8 different curriculum specifications that fit 8 professional role categories. It supports systematic and controlled educational policies in which educational informatics programmes can be developed in a cost-effective way, if need be from scratch. Learning materials can be developed in the local cultural tradition. ICF-2000 has many source links to model informatics curricula from leading professional informatics societies. Through this mechanism ICF-2000 can be easily kept up to date.
