  • Poland: Polish Geological Institute – National Research Institute (PGI-NRI)
  • Romania: Geological Institute of Romania (IGR)
  • Slovakia: State Geological Institute of Dionýz Štúr (ŠGÚDŠ)
  • Slovenia: Geological Survey of Slovenia (GeoZS)

Objectives

The CE-GIC pursues five key aims:

  • Information Exchange: Facilitate the sharing of knowledge and experiences between Geological Survey Organizations (GSOs) regarding the use and management of geoscientific information systems at a regional level.
