EC cuts funding support for Free Software projects

News

The Next Generation Internet initiative has supported Free Software projects with funding and technical assistance since 2018. Despite its proven success, the European Commission made the decision to cut this funding in the current draft for the Horizon Europe 2025 Work Programme. This decision highlights the larger problem of the lack of motivated and sustainable public funding for Free Software projects.

This landmark decision represents a significant victory for consumer rights, and we urge other national regulators to follow this example.

Fui durante anos uma voz solitária, explicando os princípios por detrás do Software Livre e a sua importância a pessoas no meu país em inúmeros artigos e textos no blog. Queria pertencer a uma organização com o objectivo de construir a sociedade digital 100% com Software Livre, e apoiar a FSFE ganhando acesso à sua infraestrutura pareceu-me um lógico primeiro passo.

I believe that Free Software can help us change our society fundamentally for the better and I believe the best way to do so is together with other volunteers from all over Europe!

Alexandra Busch (IT specialist)

Nowadays we use social networks, laptops and mobile devices every day. And very frequently we lose the important social and political vision of Free Software in all of them. Thanks to FSFE, FSF and other similar organizations and many local groups, we maintain the torch of a different world where everyone can use and share a lot of programs and code, no matter the country you live in or how much money you can afford to spend on it.
