EuroGEO 2025: Action Group Hosts Key Session on Green Deal Data Space

October 13th, 2025


The Green Deal Data Space Action Group (GDDS-AG) is a collaborative forum within EuroGEO focused on developing the Green Deal DataSpace (GDDS). The Action Group brings together researchers, technical experts,and policymakers from major EU-funded projects—most notably AD4GD, FAIRiCUBE,USAGE, B-Cubed and Great—to advance data harmonization, semanticinteroperability, metadata standards, and governance approaches in support ofthe European Green Deal goals. Most of these projects end their activities soonof have already finalized leaving SAGE as almost the only active projectdedicated to the Green Deal Data Space.

The organization of the GDDS-AG in project members made sense but we would like to transition to an individual or organizational membership. We also would like to turn our focus to how the future GDDS that SAGE is starting to build can contribute to the benefit of the data collected with thethematic action groups dealing with climate, pollution, biodiversity and therest of topic relevant for the European Green Deal.

The discussions will focus on which could be our contribution to the document called “EuroGEOAction Groups Recommendations for EuroGEO Implementation and EO SRIA evolution”

When: Tuesday Oct 14, 2025 | 15:45 – 17:15
