Follow-up-committee
A follow-up committee evaluates the progress of the project and steers the valorization of the thematic geo-scientific data into resource information that is meaningful to a broad range of end users. Specific objectives relate to the integration of specialized knowledge into policy making, and to the translation of geological potential into social and economic health and wealth. Representatives of public authorities (land and sea) and industries have accepted to join the follow-up committee. Yearly meetings are foreseen.
