The Swiss Informatics Society (SI) is a Swiss organization of scientists and specialists in the field of informatics .
The association was founded by Carl August Zehnder , Kurt Bauknecht and Pierre-André Bobillier in 1983, when the first graduates in computer science were available. Helmar Burkhart was President from 1990 to 1992, and Jürg Gutknecht has held the office since 2014 . SI has around 2000 members, academics in research and teaching and representatives from business, administration and training. The company is the largest organization of IT specialists in Switzerland. A main concern of SI is the exchange between education and application. There are around 20 different working groups, including those for computer graphics , information security , open government data , cloud computing and green IT . A working group coordinated by ETH Zurich deals with databases in theory and use. The SIRA specialist group, which was founded in 2012, consists of 300 computer science professors. The society works as a network for its members and represents their interests in politics and education.
