Panels of Experts
Provision of independent, reliable information on geoscientific issues
EFG’s Panels of Experts (PE) offer a platform encouraging the collaboration between professionals from different European countries working in the same field of geosciences. They have been set up to provide high-quality information and advice to the European institutions, international NGOs and professional bodies. Their mission is to enhance EFG’s visibility, emphasise the importance of geoscience for society, and influence EU decision-making in this regard.
EFG currently has 9 Panels of Experts:
CO2 & Hydrogen Geological Storage
Geotechnics
Minerals
Education
Geothermal Energy
Natural Hazards
Geological Heritage
Hydrogeology
Soil protection
