Health informatics is an emerging and important multi-disciplinary field that involves, informatics but also medicine, nursing, engineering, biology and other-related subjects. A co-ordination of this field at a postgraduate level becomes important now in Europe where other European Community programs such as the 'Telematics for Health Care' will require at the Fourth Framework Programme (94-99) adequate human resources of higher potential and knowledge. This European M.Sc. course meets all the above objectives. The Curriculum was developed according to the results of the ERASMUS Workshop, which was held in Athens on 13-15 September 1990 under the ERASMUS Contract number ICP-90-G-0009/12. The implementation now runs under the contract ICP-95-G-1038/12. The 6-year evaluation of the course based both on staff and student evaluation proved that the M.Sc. course in health informatics has been successful.
