Geoland integrates 56 partners comprising user organisations, private and public service providers and researchers from 15 European member and accession states. The project is organised into nine sub-tasks comprising-Regional services focussed on the implementation of newly established European Directives structured into-a Nature Protection Observatory (Habitats and Bird Directive, Ramseur Convention, Convention on Biological Diversity);
- A Water and Soil Observatory (Thematic Strategy for Soil Protection, Water Framework Directive),
- A Spatial Planning Observatory (European Spatial Development Perspective, European Spatial Observatory Network),
- A Core Service Land Cover supporting the Observatories with land cover and land cover change products.
- All activities take into account the 6th Environmental Action Programme, the Sustainable Development Strategy, the Environmental Impact Assessment Directive, the Strategic Environmental Assessment Directive, INSPIRE, and ESDI.
- Global services directed towards the support of Policies addressing Global Change and Sustainable Development structured into-a Natural Carbon Fluxes Observatory (UN Framework Convention on Climate Change),
- A Global Land Cover and Forest Change Observatory (UN Forum on Forest, Forest and Development Communication of the Commission),
- A Food Security and Crop Monitoring Observatory (council regulations on Food Aid Policy, Environmental Measure in Developing Countries),
- A Core Service Bio-geophysical Parameters supporting the Observatories.
- Operational Scenario development including service infrastructure design and implementation planning. The garland products and services will be designed to provide sustainability, availability, reliability and cost efficiency.
