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.
EU Legislative Interests
All policies related to the subsurface space and its resources, such as energy, raw materials, water, marine environment, spatial information and INSPIRE, soils, natural hazards, etc.
Communication Activities
EGS members ran over 400 EC co-financed projects during the past 7 years. We are regularly present in all major events related to our field of activities in the EU and internationally. Often we are invited by EU institutions as speakers at major events they organise.
