EUGRIS (European groundwater and contaminated land remediation information     
system) is a web based user-friendly information platform for contaminated land and     
groundwater information in development. EUGRIS is funded by the European     
Commission from March 2003 up to August 2005. The project team consists of 11     
partners of national ministries and authorities, research organisations, SMEs and     
consultants from Denmark, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy and United Kingdom.     
The Federal Environmental Agency Germany co-ordinates the project.     
   
The objectives are:     
   
- to develop a guided, scaleable and holistic approach to providing information about contaminated land and groundwater     
    
- to provide access this information to users with different perspectives such as technical, policy or country point of view     
    
- to offer a research management tool     
    
- to provide a linkage of networks and national initiatives to a central European hub    
     
- to kick off a modular European information system for soil and groundwater.   
   
EUGRIS is openly available and provide a comprehensive and overarching information resource for sustainable groundwater and land management practice. 
    
    
EUGRIS directs any user to the most appropriate source rather than store vast     
amounts of information itself. The information EUGRIS provides is a series of     
reviews, summaries and locations for more detailed sources across Europe. EUGRIS     
as dissemination tool aspires to act as a 'central broker' of information. EUGRIS is     
closely linked to other ongoing European activities. The modular structure allows a     
quick integration of further technical content and new country pages.
