LAUNCH OF “A GEOLOGICAL SERVICE FOR EUROPE” PROJECT

EuroGeoSurveys (EGS) is pleased to announce the launching of the Geological Service for Europe (GSEU) project, which will directly support the vision of European Green Deal, focusing on our Earth and what lies within its subsurface – energy, water, minerals. The GSEU’s key objective is to develop and make permanently available a pan-European geological data infrastructure and related information services for the sustainable and safe use of our subsurface and its resources.

The GSEU is envisioned as an entry point to a permanent collaborative network of European Geological Survey organisations, the national and regional custodians of subsurface data and information. It will provide European institutions, enterprises, academics and citizens with up-to-date information about the Earth, aggregated at the EU level.

The GSEU consortium comprises 48 partner organisations from 36 European countries (including both national and regional Geological Survey Organisations and associated partners). The project will run for five years starting September 1, 2022, and is largely funded by the European Commission through the Horizon Europe programme, with additional funding from the Geological Surveys of Europe, to a total of €24M.
