INSPIRE Conference 2014: Call for abstracts
Theme: INSPIRE for good governance
16-20 June 2014
Aalborg, Denmark
Deadline: March 14, 2014
Seven years have passed since INSPIRE was adopted as the EU’s legal framework establishing the infrastructure for spatial information in Europe serving policies and activities having an impact on the environment. During this period the framework of technical specifications necessary to underpin an interoperable infrastructure has been completed, and a major effort has taken place to implement the Directive in the Member States. It is now time for the mid-term evaluation to assess how well we are doing, and whether we are still on the right track. This conference comes therefore at a crucial stage to report on progress and get feedback from all the stakeholders involved.
Topics for which contributions are sought include, but are not limited to:
INSPIRE supporting the implementation of environment law
INSPIRE and the integration of environmental concern in other policy areas
INSPIRE and climate change policy
INSPIRE in specific environmental policy areas (e.g. marine, arctic, freshwater, noise, air …)
INSPIRE for addressing environment-related threats to health
INSPIRE to reduce environmental risk and management of natural disasters
INSPIRE for boosting sustainable resource-efficiency and low-carbon growth
INSPIRE supporting urban and rural sustainability (Smart cities, Smart rural)
INSPIRE and public participation for social equity and environmental justice
