The European GIS&T landscape consists of many pan-European organizations and associations promoting the interest of and representing certain stakeholder groups. While some of these organisations are dealing with all sectors and aspects of geographic information, others have a more thematic focus (e.g. remote sensing, topography, geosciences) or represent a particular sector (e.g. research, business). In some cases, their clearly is an overlap in the mission and objectives of different organizations, and some organizations are working in the same field of interest. Some examples of pan-European organizations and associations are AGILE, EuroSDR, EUROGI, and EuroGeographics. Also at international level several membership organizations and associations exist.
