About the EUROSION network
The EUROSION Soil Erosion Monitoring Network will provide a long-term collaborative infrastructure linking organisations and individuals involved in soil erosion monitoring across Europe and associated countries.
It will include monitoring agencies, researchers, policymakers, agricultural organisations, land managers, Living Labs and other relevant initiatives across local, regional, national and European levels.
We hope that our network will improve coordination between existing monitoring activities, support the uptake of harmonised monitoring methods, enable exchange of data and expertise, and help make soil erosion information more comparable and usable across countries.
Network members will contribute to shaping how the network operates, including its governance, data management, engagement and longer-term financial sustainability, with the intention that it becomes a self-sustaining European monitoring community beyond the lifetime of EUROSION.
The network will be closely connected to the EUROSION Dynamic Soil Erosion Monitoring Platform, which will provide the digital infrastructure through which much of this information can be accessed, explored and used.
The network will also aim to collaborate with and complement existing European and international infrastructures.
