Open Discovery Space - National Ministry Survey

The Open Discovery Space (ODS) partnership is conducting an overview of regional, national, European and International policies in the educational sector, highlighting policies which are thought to accelerate or hinder the adoption of eLearning Resources and their integration into national curricula. This work has an EU focus predominantly, but also addresses relevant international innovations.

The input of national policy experts, in particular from Ministries / Governmental organisations, should give valuable complementary information to the research.
Your contribution is highly appreciated, it takes only a few minutes to answer the following questions.
