At the sixth edition of the Mining and Minerals Hall (MMH) held in October 2026 in Seville, Spain, the European Geological Data Infrastructure (EGDI) was showcased at the booth of GSEU project partner IGME-CSIC, offering an opportunity to engage with potential users and gather feedback.
As one of Europe's major mining industry events attracting some 17,500 attendees, MMH provided an opportunity to engage with professionals from industry, academia, and geological surveys, demonstrating EGDI as a hub for harmonised geological data across Europe.
Visitors were invited to explore the platform through interactive user tests focused on mineral resources data. Participants rated EGDI highly for its usefulness, clarity, and innovation. Feedback highlighted priorities for future development, particularly the integration of new datasets, improved interoperability with other platforms, and more multilingual resources.
Ahead of the launch of EGDI’s redesigned user interface, these latest user-testing results offer valuable insights into users' experiences and expectations, while reaffirming the platform's value as a resource for European geological information.
