OBJECTIVES 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 network’s 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?
