If you dream of a better environment in every part of the country then you are thinking about the Information Society. 

This project relates to providing services and related procurement activities to develop and install software for databases, GIS and web applications to input data, generate metadata and to installation of a network and infrastructure to ensure the necessary geographical basemaps can be generated.

Thanks to this project the National Environmental Information Network will be modernised and extended utilising internet capabilities, will better serve regional bodies and environmental agencies, will be bolstered with new data and procedures, will be extended in relation to its geographical scope, will utilise the SYZEFXIS interconnection and interoperability options with EIONET and other networks and will support national obligations to provide data to the European Union deriving from the European Environmental Agency and the relevant Directives.
