Thank you, Sabrina. I have been travelling so am not as quick on the draw as I might have been.
Hi Chris! What kind of information are you looking for? Do you want a listing, or are you looking for some deeper info?
Cheers,
Jeannine

Hi Jeannine (and thanks again Sabrina for the introduction) -
We’re looking for some measure of the availability of coworking spaces in different cities across Europe. Ideally, we’d like numbers of spaces in all the European capital cities, plus a handful of others (Barcelona, Munich, Cambridge, Oxford, Cologne, Stuttgart & Milan). I’m fairly relaxed about the definition of coworking space, as long as it’s reasonably consistent throughout and the spaces are available to startups on pretty simple terms. For our purpose, I think a count of the number of spaces would be sufficient, rather than total number of seats within those spaces.
I’ve seen coworkingmap.org and a few of the other directories, and wondered how these compared to the GCUC survey? This is ultimately feeding into an index for the European Commission, due out this October, so we want to use a data source which is credible, timely and likely still to be available if we repeat the exercise in the future.
Thank you, Sabrina. I have been travelling so am not as quick on the draw as I might have been.

I think the oldest and most likley to be around in future is, well, the Coworking Wiki; the trouble is that to pull the data from us (particularly wrt Europe) you will want to also follow the links on the Front Page to other directories, because of language and nation segmentation.
There is also Coworking News, Felix Schurholz is I think the man on that. He used to be very active here but I have not seen him lately; like all of us his activity here waxes and wanes.
The Coworking News Directory is also somewhat segmented in their case they are most active in relation to the developments around Free Coworking in all of its guises.
I dropped you a message through the NESTA site; it seems to me the best way to proceed if you want to use our resources might be to introduce you to our UK Associate, Anna Markwell.
Let me know!
Jeannine
