Being multidisciplinary in nature, it is a field having many facets that includes the advancement of thematic and applied research, the integration and deployment of new and existing technologies, the provision of usable services for the citizens, and the need to also adequately consider the social and economic dimensions of sustainable development. The European Commission (EC) is actively supporting environmental research through its multi-annual Framework Programmes for Research and Technological Development (RTD). In particular, current research in the field of environmental informatics is contributing to enhancing interoperability between geo-spatial information systems, improving collection integration and access to harmonised environmental data, and strengthening monitoring capacities through the integration of advanced sensor networks, and the development of decision support systems as an aid to sound environmental management.Text/Conference Paper
