The GeoIT Round Table NRW brings together administration, industry and science to advance the development of geoinformation availability and usability in North-Rhine-Westfalia. It is a think tank for elaborating and consulting strategies and concepts for action, as well as initiating and accompanying the development of best practices. The GeoIT Round Table is one of the German Copernicus Relays – a network of Copernicus ambassadors – acting as local champions, coordinating and promoting activities around the Copernicus Program, its benefits, and opportunities for local residents and businesses. The steering committee recently invited members to a Copernicus Relay workshop.
