Establishing the European Geological Surveys Research Area to deliver a Geological Service for Europe

GeoERA “Establishing the European Geological Surveys Research Area to deliver a Geological Service for Europe"​ is a transnational research programme co-funded by the European Commission Horizon 2020 Programme, initiated through EuroGeoSurveys, the organisation of European Geological Surveys, and extended to all Geological Survey Organisations on the European continent. It will provide integrated information on a pan-European level on geo-energy, groundwater and mineral raw material resources. It will also develop common assessment frameworks and methodologies for supporting the European national and regional policy-makers for a better understanding and management of the water‐energy‐raw materials nexus to determine potential impacts and risks of subsurface use.
GeoERA is coordinated by the Geological Survey of Netherlands, (TNO) and supported by a consortium of 45 partner organisations, both national and regional GSOs from over 30 countries. National and regional GSOs are the main institutions responsible in European countries for the collection, management, interpretation and delivery of data and information relating to the land and marine subsurface, as well as subsurface resources.
