This year, the 12 th INSPIRE conference, ' INSPIRE users: Make it work together ' takes place in Antwerp, Belgium - 18 to 21 September, organised on the initiative of Belgium and The Netherlands in partnership with the European Commission (DG ENV, JRC) and the EEA. Since 2007 Member States have taken the initiative to organize in partnership with the Commission a yearly conference. The availability for both the public sector and third parties of this geospatial data managed by a large number of public services with responsibilities in many different thematic domains opens the door for more widely reaping the economic and societal benefits of this digital resource of public sector information through applications in many policy areas. This effort has largely been leveraged through the implementation of the "Infrastructure for Spatial Information in the European Community, INSPIRE Directive (2007/2/EC) and its synergies with many other policies.įor more information on INSPIRE see here.Ĭonsiderable progress has been made in lowering many of the initial policy and technical obstacles standing in the way to efficiently share across all levels of public administration, within – and across borders the wide range of geospatial data covered by the INSPIRE Directive.
Driven by the growing needs of society for more and better information and decision-making on what happens "where", "when" and "why", the EU Member States, EEA/EFTA and neighboring Candidate Accession Countries have been working over the past decade together with the European Commission and agencies to build up a pan-European infrastructure to manage and share more efficiently geospatial data.
