[euopendata] Fwd: What research on gov20? Help shaping the European research agenda

Tue Feb 9 18:11:48 UTC 2010

This looks highly relevant to the work of this group. There is
explicit mention of 'open government information'...

Hi all
may I draw the group's attention to the Crossroad project
(www.crossroad-eu.net), funded by the European Commission to build a
research roadmap for governance and policy modeling (including
government 2.0).
In the project, we are mapping the different research activities in
this field and providing guidelines for future research that the
European Commission should fund.
In order to draw on the maximum range of ideas, Crossroad just
launched a call for contributions, where we ask to provide a short
paper on the state of the art of a related field and on future
research needs. Deadline is february 25th. The best papers' authors
will be included in the Scientific Committee, rewarded with a lump
sum.
I believe the EC would gain immensely from input and contribution by
the group. And the group would benefit from influencing EU research
funding and make it more in line with state-of-the-art development. To
give you an idea, the latest biennial programme devoted 14 M Euros to
this research field -

Obviously, the call is open to contributors worldwide. You can find it attached.
Thanks
