Developing Earth Science for Europe

Professional Associations, Institutes & Societies

Earth Science Europe is a grass-roots initiative. Through the process, begun in October 2012 and subsequent actions, the solid-Earth science community has begun to self-organize behind some key science initiatives and to define the infrastructure needs and overarching vision for solid-Earth science in Europe. ESE aims to provide a voice for the community in Europe, to promote collaboration across the spectrum of research and the translation of geological data and knowledge delivery. The community includes representatives of many European organizations and associations including EGU, EAGE, EuroGeoSurveys, EAG, European projects and programmes and research infrastructures, cutting-edge scientists in our field including ERC award-holders, and industry representatives.

ESE has met formally twice, and held an online consultation in order to involve a greater proportion of the community and its stakeholders. Our community MISSION - To make new discoveries and inspiration to better understand the history and internal dynamics of our planet, and to provide society with data, to better manage knowledge and live more wisely on our planet. The brochure is the first product of the initiative. Aiming to provide a high-level vision for ESE aimed at policy makers, funders, industry and public, a digital version is NOW available for download on this website.
