The ICT Research Platform Nederland (IPN) presents the Sector Analysis Update 2025, an updated overview of developments in computer science education since the introduction of the national sector plans. This update builds on the figures presented in the Sector Portrait Computer Science 2022, and reflects changes and progress over the past years.
The report was compiled under the responsibility of IPN, with board member Gerard Barkema serving as chair. Its goal is to provide fresh data to assess the impact of structural investments in research and education through the sector plans. In addition, the update connects national developments to the European context, where similar coordinated efforts are still limited.
With this update, IPN aims to contribute to a well-informed dialogue on the future of computer science in the Netherlands and the EU, and to reinforce the foundation for a resilient and forward-looking digital society.
