EuroSDR

Abstract

EuroSDR (http://www.eurosdr.net/) is a
non-profit organisation that provides a pan-European network that brings
together mapping / cadastre agencies and academia for the purpose of
applied research, and securing timely, research-based knowledge that
allows the agencies to play their role as content providers and
government competence centres for geographic information and spatial
data infrastructures.

EuroSDR is the recognised provider of
research-based knowledge to a Europe where citizens can readily benefit
from geographic information. Its mission is to develop and improve
methods, systems and standards for the acquisition, processing,
production, maintenance, management, visualization, and dissemination of
geographic reference data in support of applications and service
delivery.
EuroSDR delivers advanced research-based knowledge. Its
value is generated by facilitating interaction between research
organisations and the public and private sector with the aim of
exchanging ideas and knowledge about relevant research topics; by
facilitating and contributing to research projects; and by transferring
knowledge and research results to real world applications. The paper
gives an overview about EuroSDR research principles, research alliances,
objectives and action plans of each of the technical commissions.
