Slide 2
Encouraging the diffusion of innovative teaching approaches,
applied research and policy debate on services of general interest
(SGI) in the European Union from a citizens perspective, by
creating a network of six universities. The EUsers networks
activities will focus mainly on network SGI such as energy,
telecommunications, transport and environmental services. These
will be examined through the lenses of citizens as users, and the
public or private nature of their provision will be evaluated in
terms of consumers welfare effects. Key questions: How should
governments define the mission, performance criteria, and
governance mechanisms of public enterprises providing SGI? How
should they regulate the enterprise if provision is private or
mixed? O BJECTIVES
