2. 2 Overview of the presentation Description of work Deliverables WP 4.1 Dissemination WP 4.2 Exploitation WP 4.3 Distribution

3. 3 Description of work The objective of the work package is to spread knowledge and results gained in the project to the ESS. The EFGS will function as a professional reference group for the GEOSTAT ESSnet project. This network of experts made up of key users and producers will scrutinize the output of every iteration and suggest improvements to the project result (see objective) As the results in the first instance concern statistical offices, one focus of the knowledge transfer will be at the annual working party of GISCO with the NSIs and the national mapping agencies.
