OSOR publishes 10 country reports!

First milestone reached!

Published on: 15/04/2020 News Archived

The OSOR team has been working on the publication of country intelligence reports on open source software policies in all EU Member States. More than 10 reports are now available in OSOR’s Knowledge Centre!

For the past few months, the OSOR team has been carrying out research on every country within the European Union in order to compile independent country intelligence reports. These reports are focused on the public sector and aim to give an overview of the open source software policies and initiatives in each country. The OSOR team have also been in touch with over 40 people working in various governments, public administrations, and associations, who are kindly contributing their expertise to enrich the reports.

What will you learn from these reports?

You will have an overview of the governmental actors, strategic players, political and legal framework, and the initiatives in the public sector that relate to open source software. If you wish to have a glimpse of the highlights of each country, the reports are also complemented by a one-page factsheet. Both documents can be downloaded and further reused (authorised under the CC BY 4.0 licence).

Once all the country reports are published, the OSOR team will conduct a comprehensive study in the form of a comparative analysis, giving a full overview of observable trends and the various strengths of open source software policies throughout the European Union.
