New BCS, New Professionalism in Information
Technology

David Clark stated at the launch of the new BCS
on 29 April 2004

programme in IT, is making important
contributions to the key issues that affect
society today and more importantly will affect it

for IT, the BCS aims to ensure that it is always

from a wide range of disciplines and industrial
sectors.
Today the BCS continues this drive with an
ongoing series of events such as
"Critical National Information Infrastructure,
Date Wednesday 7 June 2006, Venue The Royal
