Survey: help us shape our open future

An open future has never been more important. Although the COVID-19 pandemic has turned our world upside down, the Open Knowledge Foundation believes that openness will help us get through this global crisis.

To help us better understand how to respond, we recently commissioned an opinion poll in the UK (read our blogpost or download the full report) to gauge the public’s feelings about COVID-19, data sharing, openness and government transparency.

The poll revealed that people across the UK want openness from the government, they are now more likely to listen to expert advice from scientists and researchers, and they oppose restricting the public’s right to information.

Now we are asking you as a key stakeholder of the Open Knowledge Foundation to fill out a short survey to help us understand more about global opinions on these issues and to help guide our campaign for a fair, free and open future in a post COVID-19 world.
