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

[Jonathan Gray]

I guess we've probably missed the boat on this now. In any case would
be good to see what happens and if anything comes out of it that is
relevant to this group's activities!

David: would be great if you might be able to let us know if there are
any papers on 'open government information' published as a result of
the call!

All the best,

Jonathan
