BGR in Europe

Apart from direct scientific collaborations, BGR is trans-nationally involved in EuroGeoSurveys (EGS), the association of more than 30 national and regional geological surveys in Europe. EGS is a non-profit organization with the goal of providing neutral, balanced and practical support to European institutions with geoscience expert knowledge from across Europe.

Collaboration covers topics such as mineral resources, groundwater, geochemistry, marine geology, geoinformation and Earth observation. Through its office in Brussels, EGS maintains close contact with the relevant European institutions. Directors and scientists of the member surveys meet regularly for exchange, planning of joint projects and strategic coordination. More information about the structure and current projects of EGS can be found at www.eurogeosurveys.org.
