Rural & Regional Questionnaire

From AMI@Work Communities Wiki

This poll focuses on a number of issues which are crucial for successful development of New Working Environments in rural and regional settings. If you have gotten through to this site, we assume this area is of certain importance to you, and you would be willing to share your view with us. It will take you 5-8 minutes to answer the questions, and we would appreciate very much to be able to know your opinions.

The results of the poll are going to be used in preparation of a roadmap on rural and regional m-workspaces and m-working which is going to be one of the key outcomes of the MOSAIC project.

Thank you for your valuable contribution!
