The use of Free/Open Source Software is growing in public administrations across Europe. What would be the potential impact on the development of the Information Society (including industry) if public organisations (administrations, research institutions, universities, agencies, public companies etc.) were to release software fully owned by them under an open source license?

The European Commission's DG Information Society and Media has commissioned a study to explore this impact. The progress of the study and intermediate project results will be made available on this website.
 
If you are from a public administration in the EU and would like to participate in our study or be included in our analysis, you will be able to do so by responding to our surveys or participating in online discussions that will be made available on this site. For more information, please contact us.
