GSEU Project meeting at GeoSphere Austria

June 14, 2023

Participants in the GSEU Project met in Vienna at GeoSphere Austria to collaborate in a workshop on "GSEU and the Geological Framework for the EU Geological Data and Information System". 40 attendees from across Europe worked together to move forward on this vital part of the project. 

This group of experts focuses on:

  • Setting up metadata of European geological maps, map data sets and 3D-models
  • Developing the framework and vocabularies for harmonised pan-European maps and 3D models
  • Sharing best practices for 3D geomodelling and visualisation
  • Demonstrating the cross-thematic use of a geological framework for decision support


Presentation on the topic is available here
