Dear all,
I wish you a happy new year!
Yesterday, we published and submitted to the European Commission a Position Paper for the endorsement of Free Software and Open Standards in Horizon 2020 (and all publicly-funded research), as part of the ongoing public consultation on the midterm evaluation of Horizon 2020, the biggest research funding program in Europe ** open till 15.01.2017 **.[1]
The results of the consultation will define the 2018-2020 Horizon 2020 strategic goals as well as the post-Horizon 2020 framework funding programs.
You can read the relevant news item here: https://fsfe.org/news/2017/news-20170105-01.en.html and take a look at the position paper itself here: https://fsfe.org/activities/policy/eu/Horizon2020-Position-Paper.en.html
If you wish to contribute to the consultation, as an individual or as an organisation, or share the position paper, there is a dedicated wiki page with tips:

Kind regards, Olga
