1stJoint Workshop of the EGIDA Stakeholder Network and Advisory Board Connecting GEOSS and its Stakeholders in Science and Technology Bonn, Germany, May 9-11, 2011

Breakout Session B4: Linking GEOSS and S&T in all SBAs

Co-Chairs: Udo Gärtner, Kathy Fontaine

While the STC and the two ST Work Plan Tasks have been quite successful in linking relevant S&T communities to GEO and GEOSS in some SBAs, such links are insufficiently developed or absent in other SBAs. The goal of the session is to review the current linkage between S&T communities and GEOSS, identify high-priority areas without sufficient links, and discuss steps towards improvements of links in these areas.
