New Trends in Information Technologies and their Integration in University Curricula: a Brief Study in the Context of the FETCH European Thematic Network

Starting from general considerations about the fast evolution of Information Technology, in this paper we focus on the need for integrating new up-to-date topics in existing computing curricula. In particular, we summarize the data obtained from surveys developed within the FETCH European thematic network and directed to professors, alumni and industry representatives. We also provide suggestions derived from the FETCH European Strategic Framework for Computing Education and Training (ESFCET 2020), stressing the importance of computing curricula that incorporate timely technological targets.
