< p > The FSFE is planning to participate in projects covering the spectrum from
2007-04-05 12:18:11 +00:00
information technology security over research for small and medium
2007-04-06 10:38:13 +00:00
enterprises to research on the social impact of information technology.< / p >

2008-04-03 16:58:10 +00:00
< p > Currently the calls from the EC are being analysed and potential project
2007-04-05 14:25:23 +00:00
issues are identified. After that phase, consortia with organisations,
2007-04-05 12:18:11 +00:00
businesses and research facilities around Free Software issues will be formed.
With all partners on board, project proposals will be written and
2008-04-03 16:58:10 +00:00
filed to the EC in line with the prospective calls.< / p >
2007-04-05 12:18:11 +00:00
< p > The projects will focus on potentials and risks of the information society in
2008-04-27 09:18:56 +00:00
the areas of business, education, security and development. Free Software is
2007-04-05 14:25:23 +00:00
introduced as a very good vehicle to use the potentials and minimize the risks.
Through qualitative consortia, the proposals are aiming to bridge the gap
2007-04-05 12:18:11 +00:00
between research, business and civil society. They are also contributing to the
dissemination of the idea of Free Software in all significant entities.< / p >

< h3 > Remark< / h3 >
< p > As many will know, activities on this level are often painstakingly
2007-04-06 10:38:13 +00:00
slow and take a lot of work. Although the FSFE will try to do as
2007-04-05 12:18:11 +00:00
much as it can, its resources are limited by the amount of support
that it gets. So one way of speeding the process up < a
