Dear EDeAN members,

The report from the public consultation on the European e-Inclusion policy, that was carried out from 4 March to 6 April 2009, has been published.
The main objective of the study was to gather views on the role of e-Inclusion in the future European strategy on the information society that will succeed the "i2010" initiative, and European programmes and activities supporting e-Inclusion and cooperation between European Commission services and relevant stakeholders regarding e-Inclusion activities.

The responses received represent various stakeholder groups, including public authorities (26,2%), non-for-profit academic or research organisations (26,2%), individual academics or researchers (19,4%), commercial operators or industry associations(11,7%), users organisations (5,8%), private individuals (4,9%). Overall, there was a general understanding that European policy on e-inclusion is useful and should be continued and enhanced in post 'i2010' initiative.

More information as well as the position papers that were received in the context of the study, are available at:

The report is also attached with thuis message.

Best regards,

Sifi Klironomos
