Geological Framework Setup

  • EGDI Data Hub feeding FAIR EGDI data into surrounding EU information infrastructures;
  • Inventory of geological maps, map data sets, models, and services in the EGDI Metadata Catalogue;
  • Conceptual model for multiscale geological data in 2&3D;
  • multifunctional 2D/3D decision-support module;
  • rules and recommendations for the further development of EGDI.

All Areas

  • Technical Report on the feasibility and functional structure of the Geological Service for Europe;
  • Geological Services Knowledge Hub Development & Implementation Plan;
  • Report on networking and clustering actions, rules and recommendations for future EGDI operation.

The project continues until 2027, with further development of pan-European datasets, geological services, digital infrastructure and cooperation networks.
