Awareness of PSI Directive amongst delegates attending GEOforum Leipzig 2008 tested
Leipzig: 10 June 2008
GEOforum Leipzig 2008 took place in Leipzig on the 10 June 2008. The programme for the day considered:
- Energy and Environment
- Geo data processing
- Planning and Infrastructure
100+ delegates attended the event that came from Saxonian public Administrative bodies, SME's and NGO's.
In cooperation with the event organisers Dr Frank Hoffman IGN e.V., Dresden, Germany in conjunction with the ePSIplus Thematic Network distributed 50 copies of the PSI Awareness questionnaire of which 16 completed questionnaires were returned. (32% return rate).
The results showed that not one of the respondents was aware of the Directive 2003/98/EC and the German transposition. The outcome of the survey was similar to that recently undertaken in Dresden and Potsdam during May 2008.
The topic of how to raise the awareness of the PSI Directive across Europe will be one of the topics considered at the ePSIplus Conference PSI Re-use, Who takes the action next? that will take place in Brussels on 13 June 2008.
