The final event of GSEU’s sister project EIS, funded by Horizon Europe, took place on 7 October 2025 in Brussels. Julie Hollis (EuroGeoSurveys) highlighted the essential role of European Geological Surveys and the GSEU project in supporting sustainable mineral exploration.
The European Geological Data Infrastructure (EGDI) already puts maps, datasets, and web services from across Europe at your fingertips. But we know it can get better - and that is where you come in.
EuroGeoSurveys & EGEC Geothermal were jointly awarded a dedicated hub at the Energy Fair of the European Sustainable Energy Week (EUSEW) in Brussels, spotlighting geothermal energy and geological solutions for Europe’s Net-Zero future. As a flagship project of EuroGeoSurveys, GSEU was prominently featured.
EuroGeoSurveys presents the vision for establishing a permanent Geological Service for Europe as a vital platform to provide the scientific tools, data, and policy support needed to integrate geothermal energy into Europe’s broader clean energy strategy.
At the EAGE Annual 2025 in Toulouse, France, GSEU hosted a well-attended Lunch and Learn Panel Discussion on The European Geological Data Infrastructure (EGDI) – Europe’s Digital Twin.
We’re proud to announce the launch of the Pan-European Atlas of Sustainable GeoEnergy Capacities, an online tool that brings together decades of subsurface data and geological expertise from across Europe. This marks a major milestone in the GSEU project, as we move closer to our goal of transforming the consortium’s expertise into accessible, impactful tools.
Press release
A major new initiative to advance sustainable resource governance across Europe has officially launched: the European International Centre of Excellence on Sustainable Resource Management (ICE-SRM EU).
The European International Centre of Excellence on Sustainable Resource Management (ICE-SRM EU) has officially launched!
Ten years ago, the EuroGeoSurveys book Minerals in Your Life shed light on how minerals underpin our everyday lives - from smartphones to medicines. Today, as the world accelerates toward a green energy future, the upcoming second edition underscores Europe’s urgent need for sustainable and secure mineral sourcing.
The EuroGeoSurveys Ten-Year Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (SRIA) 2025-2034 presents a forward-looking framework for the sustainable management of Europe’s geological resources.
The IRTC25: From Raw Material Policies to Practice conference took place from 19 to 21 February 2025 in Ljubljana, Slovenia.
Press release
EuroGeoSurveys presents the vision for a Geological Service for Europe (GSEU), a pan-European initiative to harmonise and integrate subsurface data, knowledge, and expertise.
The GSEU Project was involved in several sessions and side events at Raw Materials Week in December 2024. 
The 'Cities Under Pressure' event at the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences was a fantastic opportunity to bring together experts from geology, urban planning, and environmental research.
PETEX is the largest subsurface-focused E&P conference and exhibition in the UK, with a broader scope to include the energy transition.
The GSEU project was presented within the Session "Geophysical data-acquisition to accelerate geothermal development in the urban environment” at the GET2024 conference in Rotterdam.
The GSEU Project was showcased as part of the EGS/BRGM booth at the IGC 2024 Congress in Busan, Korea, in August 2024.
European Sustainable Energy Week (EUSEW), (which in 2024 was on 11-13 June), is the biggest annual event dedicated to renewables and efficient energy use in Europe and organised by the CINEA - European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency and the European Commission Directorate-General for Energy.
From 13 to 15 May, the EIT Raw Materials Summit brought together international representatives from the raw materials industry, policy, and academia to discuss the challenges, possible decisions and the future of the sector in general.
The European Green Deal and the EU's ambitious Net-Zero goals centre around a detailed understanding, strategic and sustainable exploitation of the subsurface. High-quality subsurface pan-European data (on- and off-shore) and geoscientific expertise are crucial to this endeavour. There is no energy transition without geothermal energy, offshore wind energy and energy storage and we cannot reach the Net Zero targets without Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS).
The annual event in Geneva brought together leaders, experts and stakeholders in the field of resource management to discuss the pressing sustainable development challenges and opportunities. The programme focused on the United Nations Framework Classification for Resources (UNFC) and the United Nations Resource Management System (UNRMS), highlighting their critical role in advancing global resource management.
The GSEU project was presented at the Changing Demand in the Built Environment event organised by TNO and the Energy Reinvented Community in Nieuwegein, the Netherlands.
Strong support from European Parliament for development of geothermal energy in EU.
