The EU Soil Observatory will be launched on
Friday 4 December 2020 10.00-16.00.
The new Soil Observatory will become a
dynamic and inclusive platform that aims to support policymaking by:
(1) Providing the Commission Services and
the broader soil user community with the soil knowledge and data flows needed
to safeguard soils.
(2) Supporting EU Research & Innovation
on soils.
(3) Raising societal awareness of the value
of soils.
The information, data, maps, research,
indicators, awareness material included in the Soil Observatory will put soil
at the core of EU Green Deal.
The event will consist of the formal launch
by EU Commissioners, high-level presentations and panel discussions in the
morning, followed by an open technical discussion in the afternoon. The meeting
will involve representatives from the EU Member States, the European
Commission, the European Agencies, International Organisations and civil
society.
The event will be open to the public (no
registration requested).
