Since mid-1990s the role of SGI in the construction of Europe started to be publicly discussed.Today, SGI are recognised to be a key aspect in fostering European social and territorial cohesion and ensuring the enjoyment of fundamental rights to EU citizens.<\/p>\n
The contribution of the EUsers to the EU policy debate on SGI is to analyse the users\u2019 perspective. Throughout the EUsers\u2019 activities, SGI will be examined through the lenses of citizens as users<\/strong>, and the public or private nature of their provision will be evaluated in terms of consumers\u2019 welfare effects<\/strong>.The EUsers network\u2019s activities will focus mainly on network SGI such as \u2013 for instance \u2013 energy, telecommunications, transport and environmental services.<\/p>\n Key questions addressed by the EUsers include:<\/p>\n The long-term objective of the EUser Network is indeed to become the reference point in the European Union on public services within high education<\/strong>, with the main role of collecting and capitalising the knowledge on SGI and specific related issues, of disseminating it to the general public through publications and public debates involving the academic word and policy-makers.<\/p>\n The EUsers Network involves six European universities<\/strong>. It builds upon an informal network of researchers both within and outside the European Union, organized around the activities of the Jean Monnet Chair (hosted by Universit\u00e0 degli Studi di Milano) and Ciriec international<\/a>.<\/p>\n The EUsers Partners:<\/strong><\/p>\n \u2022 Universit\u00e0 degli Studi di Milano<\/a> (lead University)\u00a0\u2013\u00a0Italy EUsers Team Scientific Committee:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n
