Webinars from UN-GGIM: Europe webinar Toolbox for implementing the UN-IGIF - A practical discussion on putting the framework in action
2024-04-23 12:30 - 14:30
The overall aim of the webinar is to enhance the knowledge and understanding about the existing approaches to implementing the UN-IGIF. It will provide an overview of the tools available to help strengthen national geospatial capabilities – such as developing detailed Country-Level Action Plans or adapting specific elements of the nine Strategic Pathways. Elements of these approaches can be adopted depending on a country’s situation, in terms of stakeholder collaboration, funding, expertise, needs, or data availability. This webinar builds on the previous webinar: An introduction to the United Nations Integrated Geospatial Information Framework (UN-IGIF) on 27 Sep 2023.

EuroGeographics has been encouraging our members to sign the Copernicus Services Framework Agreement and associated annexes. The aim of this work is to facilitate the access of NMCAs data to Copernicus. By creating a single licence agreement between EuroGeographics and the European Environment Agency (EEA), it streamlines the licensing process for providing access to official national geospatial data to the Copernicus Services. It is key to increasing the use of your data and strengthening cooperation between NMCAs and Copernicus Services.

TDKEN Kick off webinar - 2024
2024-04-29 14:30 - 15:30
The aim of the TDKEN is to exchange and share technical data knowledge amongst its members to advance solutions to existing obstacles in the production of pan-European datasets. The topics being considered in the TDKEN are harmonisation, edge-matching, generalisation, quality and life-cycle management (up-dating).
Following last year’s work and your input to the Technical Data Knowledge Exchange Network we invited you to a meeting which kicked off the TDKEN activities for 2024.
The online kick off meeting outlined the workplan for 2024, exploring the methodology and approach that will be undertaken for each of the topic areas based on the feedback you provided during the TDKEN technical workshop and the baseline questionnaire.
This invitation was extended to interested EuroGeographics members and relevant stakeholders.
The webinar was presented by Victoria Persson and Carol Agius of EuroGeographics and the presentation can be found here.
