Collaborative Creativity Group
UNU-MERIT has established itself as a pioneer in researching the socio-economic, legal and technical aspects of Free/Libre Open Source Software (FLOSS). These research activities have been previously visible through different projects and websites, and are now brought together as the Collaborative Creativity Group to emphasise the broader nature of the group's interests and activities.

The Dynamics of Socio-Economic Development
This website supports the textbook The Dynamics of Socio-Economic Development. An Introduction by Adam Szirmai. The book contains over 70 tables with statistical data on different dimensions of development for a sample of 29 developing countries and aggregate data for regions. The website presents the detailed worksheets that underlie each of these tables. The website also provides links to important sources of international data for the study of growth and development.
