Mission & Goals
EGS is the organisation of the Geological Surveys of Europe, governed by Belgian law in accordance with the title III of the Law of 27 June 1921 on non-profit making organisations, non-profit making international organisations and foundations. 37 national geological surveys are currently members of EGS. EGS promotes the contribution of geosciences to European Union affairs and action programmes to publish, or see its Members publishing, expert, neutral, balanced and practical pan-European technical advice and information for the European Union Institutions. It also provides a permanent network between the Geological Surveys of Europe and a common, but not unique, gateway to each of the Members and their national networks to jointly address European issues of common interest in the field of geosciences.
