WHAT IS THE EFGS
Since1998 a network of experts – primarily working in European National Statistical Institutes (NSI).
Mainly GIS specialists but also statisticians, researchers and employees of mapping authorities.
Voluntary work done by devoted experts with visionary ideas.

EFGS ACTIVITIES
The main goal - to promote the integration of statistical and geospatial information in public sector information and the use of GIS in NSIs;
EFGS acts as a reference group for Eurostat and the project group for the GEOSTAT projects;
In October this year we received the status of official Observer Organisation to UN-GGIM: Europe;
Regularly produces strategy documents on various aspects regarding the integration of statistical and geospatial information;

EFGS WORK PROGRAM
Creation of a point-based spatial reference framework for official statistics as the base for desimination of statistical data on grid;
Partnership between NSI and NMCAs on equal terms;
Increased participation of NMCAs and geospatial experts in the activities of the EFGS, e.g. in the EFGS conference;
A fully geocoded census 2021;
A truly object oriented statistical-geospatial information system for sustainable development ranging from local to global;

EFGS WORK PROGRAM
the program is implemented through:
works within projects:
GEOSTAT 1 and 2
„Merging statistics and geospatial information in Member States”
active participation in UN-GGIM and UN-GGIM: Europe sessions
final version of the GEOSTAT 2011 population grid on the Eurostat website:
http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/web/gisco/geodata/reference-data/population-distribution-demography
The grid contains the total residential population on the date of the census 2011.
With national data from 29 EU/ EFTA member states plus data from Kosovo and Albania, the GEOSTAT 1 project has by far exceeded all expectations

EFGS AS A FORUMFOR KNOWLEDGE EXCHANGE
The lack of regular contacts and working relationships between NSIs and NMCAs is often a major obstacle for better understanding, cooperation and data sharing;
The strength of the EFGS is willingness for networking and knowledge sharing (annual conferences, projects and website);
UN-GGIM and NMCAs should take advantage of the professional network established by the EFGS in this important area of geospatial information management;
