Help make every European digital

DG Connect (which is the short way of saying the European Commission Directorate General for Communications Networks, Content and Technology who manage the Digital Agenda for Europe) need your help.

Their vision, and it's one that we share, is to make every European digital.

The tools of our research may vary but our aims are the same - to gather information that leads to ever improved outcomes. Image: Mathematics: various surveying instruments. Engraving by Benard. The Wellcome Library, CC-BY-NC

DG Connect say that they will achieve this by 'supporting ICT research and innovation and by deploying our regulatory and policy tools in order to boost growth and to create jobs' and that 'we will get there by setting an example as a lean and effective modern public actor.'

In order to that, DG Connect is making a call for evidence and for your help. They ask all stakeholders and interested parties to respond to a questionnaire. By doing so, you will help them to check the evidence on which they will base their priority actions in 2013 and beyond:

  • Do you share their view as to what they should do?
  • Do you have facts and figures beyond those that they have identified?

DG Connect's survey is in two parts:

  • A short set of questions on the survey itself. This will take you a maximum of 10 minutes.
  • A set of questions about each of their priorities. You can comment on as many of the priorities as you want.

One of the priority sections is of particular interest to those interested in Europeana and the digitisation and re-use of cultural heritage in general. The 'Media and Data' section includes links to questions on:

  • Creativity: research on new creative experience tools
  • Creativity: promoting innovation
  • Creativity: online accessibility and digital preservation of Europe's cultural heritage
  • Creativity: Europeana platform

Take the survey

Go to the survey, register or log in to the site and then start providing your answers.

You can save your answers and go back to complete them at any stage before the consultation period closes on 15th March 2013 at 12:00.
