AbstractIt is widely acknowledged that a common knowledge base for European research is necessary. The DRIVER project aims towards this. European practices may be harmonised and the development of stateof-the-art technology facilitated. As a first step, a clear picture of the state-of-the-art of the European repositories is needed. To get this picture, digital repositories in the 27 countries of the European were surveyed in 2006, covering 114 repositories from 17 European countries. Basically, this is a follow-up of an earlier SURF study carried out in 2005, which included 10 European countries (Van Westrienen and Lynch, 2005). The present 2008 survey continues this trend, showing an increasing number of respondents. 178 Institutional research repositories and 14 thematic and other non-institutional repositories from 22 European countries took part actively.
