European initiatives

Europe is transforming to meet the technological, social, environmental and economic challenges of the 21st century. The rapid pace of change has far-reaching implications for every country, every business and every citizen. These changes require appropriate policy and service initiatives; our responsibility is to support these with relevant advice and information and to ensure that up-to-date, accurate and definitive land and property information is available to those who need it. We do this and we will continue do so.

EuroGeographics is supporting the aims of the INSPIRE directive, GMES services, the re-use of Public Sector Information, Cross Border Mortgage in the EU and many other European initiatives. Our aim is to provide Europe with an information asset that will support its goal to become the most competitive and sustainable economy in the world. These pages provide an insight to our work in this area.

Geonovum (The Netherlands) has published a video which summarises some of the key issues that INSPIRE is trying to address and the reasons why data harmonisation is important and necessary to support decision-making. Watch it
