EU-funded eGovernment research projects

6^thFramework Programme for Research (2002-06)

eGovernment research in the 6th Framework Programme (FP6) has focused on modernising public agencies at all levels, innovating to create new and/or improved services for citizens and businesses which can save them time and money in their dealings with government. Bringing added value at EU level, eGovernment services should be designed to facilitate movement of people, as well as the goods and services companies make and supply, in the internal market. Amongst the themes given financial support in FP6 are: increasing participation of citizens in policy development and democratic decision-making; developing intelligent, personalised government services to help citizens and businesses; building new support services to make the business of government at all levels more efficient; and improving security in data transfer and data handling, to protect the private information of citizens and businesses throughout the internal market.

	FLOSSPOLS - Free/libre and open source software: policy support The market for software is still dominated by proprietary software – you pay for licences, upgrades, and even after-sales services to fix it when it crashes. Open source is different because the programming code is not secret, anyone can see it, improve it, download it, etc. Europe’s strong position in this area of ICT is a great opportunity for growth and jobs. FLOSSpols investigated open source, how government organisations are increasingly using it, and why few women are developing it. Project factsheet on CORDIS Project website. Project synopsis
	GUIDE – Creating an European identity management architecture for eGovernment There are two powerful reasons for resolving identity management issues among EU countries.
