Current status Exchange and include discussion

EGDI supports challenges and policy development at EU level◦ Request from DG’s to provide pan-European geological data and derived information

EGDI supports sustainability of investments at EU and national levels◦ Continued accessibility to EU-project results (safeguard > 250 mln previous investments)

Increase visibility EGS partners◦ EGDI supports “principal supplier”-role for geological information at EU-level

Maximize added value at national level ◦ Higher efficiency new EU-projects/ INSPIRE

◦ accessibility Geological Data/ Information for different stakeholders (policy, industry, research)

Strengthening collaboration EGS partners and EU-institutions◦ EGDI pre-conditional for EGS Strategy towards a European Geological Service

EGDI: Solutions for what?

CHALLENGES FOR EUROPEHow to stimulate economic recovery and create jobs and growth?How to secure energy and natural resources needed by citizens and industry?How to secure clean water, sufficient food and a clean and healthy environment?How to protect citizens against natural hazards and the consequences of climate change?How to comply with global agreements and targets and maintain a solid position in a rapidly changing global playing field?

EUROPE 2020 Targets: •Increasing Employment•Increasing investment in R&D•Combatting Climate change and Increasing Energy Sustainability•Better Education•Fighting Poverty and social exclusion

EGDI: Solutions for what?

EU CHALLENGES REQUIRE EU ANSWERS

Zooming in on geological knowledge and data to support policy development and implementation:

EGDI legal framework

• Overview of legal and organisational barriers for the development of the EGDI– Licensing and data policy

– Trust and authentication

– Governance

• Guidelines for legal and organisational framework

EGDI legal framework

– “legal requirements and conditions in order to ensure trust within the infrastructure”

– What is trust?• Ensuring that people want to use the infrastructure

– They have faith in the data and services that are provided– They are certain that their rights and interests are being safeguarded

• Three (interlinked) areas– Trust in the data– Trust in the services– Trust in the people

logy

- Collate existing project results- Define fully developed EGDI

- Build skeleton organisation- Vision, mission- (Key) surveys are committed- Own funding

- Reuse existing technology

- Surveys initiate projects for EGDI- Prioritisation process established- Exert influence (calls, programs)

- Governance established- Strategy established- Expert groups committed- Project funding

- Sustained organisation- Adaptive governance- External organisations committed- Program funding

- EGDI architecture established- Adaptive technology

- Short term, 2014-2015 - Medium term, 2015-2018 - Long term, >2018

- Full-fledged EGDI- Thematically

- In terms of scale and coverage- Established European service

Governance principle: continuous dialogue with stakeholders (internal & external)

Technology principles: reliability/performance first, comply to standards, state-of-the-art rather than cutting edge

Development principle: quick wins first Development principle: achieve comprehensiveness
