EuroSDR (European Spatial Data Research) Network

About us

EuroSDR (European Spatial Data Research) is a European organisation established by the International Treaty, as OEEPE, in 1953 in Paris in accordance with a recommendation passed by the Council of the Organisation for European Economic Co-operation. The spatial data research interests of European countries are represented through the membership in EuroSDR of national organisations from their production and research sectors. The result is a network of delegates, from European Geographic Information organisations and research institutes, effectively and practically addressing Europe's spatial data research requirements. Collaborative research projects address the acquisition, management and delivery of spatial data and services while international workshops and courses, in collaboration with related organisations, address key issues in a timely and focussed manner. The vision of EuroSDR is to be the European research platform for National Mapping and Cadastral Agencies, Academic Institutes, the Private Sector, Industry and User Groups on issues related to the implementation of technology developments with respect to optimising the provision (collection processing, storage, maintenance, visualisation, dissemination and use) of reference information (data serving as a spatial framework for organisations involved in monitoring, management and development) in a Spatial Data Infrastructure context.

  • EuroSDR Workshop on the State-of-the-Art of 3D Mapping at National and Regional Mapping Agencies The EuroSDR Workshop on the State-of-the-Art of 3D Mapping at National and Regional Mapping Agencies took place on January 22-23, 2025, at IGN - French Mapping Agency (Institut Géographique National) in Saint Mandé, Paris. This well-attended event brought together nearly 70 participants from National Mapping and Cadastral Agencies (NMCAs), research institutions, and industry. The workshop served as a platform to discuss advancements, challenges, and future directions in 3D mapping. Over the course of the event, 10 NMCAs presented their current 3D mapping initiatives, methodologies, and future plans. These presentations highlighted a variety of topics, including data acquisition techniques, processing workflows, and practical applications of 3D data within national geospatial infrastructures and Digital Twin projects. An additional dedicated session featured updates on the latest developments from industry and academic research, offering valuable insights into cutting-edge innovations in 3D mapping. The workshop emphasised the importance of sustained collaboration and knowledge exchange among NMCAs, research institutions, and industry partners to drive advancements in 3D mapping. Participants identified the need for continued engagement and committed to following up on the workshop's outcomes. These follow-up activities will be coordinated through the EuroSDR 3D Special Interest Group. The presentations can be found here: https://lnkd.in/e8CDqGHQ

    Last week, UN-GGIM: Europe had the pleasure of contributing to EuroSDR’s and EUREF’s joint “Workshop on Increasing the Use and Cross-Border Sharing of Spatial Data Related to Reference Frames”, organized by Norwegian Mapping Authority in Tromsø, Norway.   We had Belgium’s Jeffrey Verbeurgt present an overview of the United Nations’ global and regional geospatial initiatives, including UN-GGIM, UN-GGIM: Europe, the Community of Interest on Geodetic Reference Frames - Europe, and the United Nations Global Geodetic Centre of Excellence. The presentation provided insights into UN-GGIM's mission, annual discussions, and European priorities in geospatial data and reference frame coordination.   The presentation also highlighted the role of GRF Europe in promoting geodetic collaboration across the region and concluded with an invitation to join the UN-GGCE’s upcoming workshop, "Transitioning to a Modern Geospatial Reference System"— a key opportunity to further strengthen Europe's geospatial infrastructure.   Thank you to EuroSDR, EUREF and all participants for an engaging discussion!     #UNGGIM #UNGGIMEurope #GeospatialData #GRFEurope #UNGGCE #EuroSDR #SpatialData #ReferenceFrames #DataSharing #Tromsø Photo credits: Kristin Skjerven
