Based on the partnership between the Organisation of African Geological Surveys - OAGS and #EuroGeoSurveys, the Secretariats of both organisations convened a Twinning Session after Mining Indaba 2025. This strategic session was scheduled from 10 to 14 February 2025 to map out a strategic vision to implement the PanAfGeo+ programme. PanAfGeo+ objectives are to contribute to sustainable management of geological resources in Africa and promote EU-African partnership in geosciences and technology. This session facilitated dynamic discussions, enabling the exchange of valuable insights and strategies pertinent to the shared objectives. This collaborative effort not only aims to strengthen the professional network but also lays a foundation for value creation that will assist the geoscience community to be self-sustained. The adopted theme for PanAfGeo+ is “Geoscience: a united ground for sustainable development”.

The representative body of 37 EU Geological Surveys, provides public Earth science knowledge in support of EU policies.
About us
EuroGeoSurveys (EGS), The Geological Surveys of Europe, is a not-for-profit organization representing 37 National Geological Surveys and some regional Surveys in Europe, an overall workforce of several thousand experts. EuroGeoSurveys' mission is to provide public Earth science knowledge to support the EU’s competitiveness, social well-being, environmental management, and international commitments. In our day-to-day activities, we promote the contribution of geosciences to European Union affairs and action programmes, and provide a permanent network between the Geological Surveys of Europe and a common, but not unique, gateway to each of the Members and their national networks. EGS coordinates a number of Expert Groups and temporary Task Forces that integrate information, knowledge and expertise deriving from the member NGSs in fields including natural hazards, water, soils, energy, mineral resources, marine geology, spatial data, carbon capture and storage, geochemistry, Earth observation and international cooperation. These Expert Groups have contributed significantly – as has been recognised by the European Commission - to the definition of some fundamental legislative initiatives and policy provisions, such as the INSPIRE Directive; the Raw Materials Initiative; the Directive on the geological storage of CO2; the EC’s Maritime Policy; the Soil Thematic Strategy; the Water Framework Directive; the Mining Waste Directive; the Resource Efficiency Policy; the Coastal Zone Policy.
