SESSION DESCRIPTION
All infrastructures, and INSPIRE is no exception, require maintenance and evolution if they want to remain relevant for serving the purposes for which they have been put in place. Lessons learned by implementing the infrastructure need also to be taken into account to further optimise its performance in order to meeting its policy objectives.
The Commission, in agreement with the Member States, has therefore set up in 2013 the INSPIRE Maintenance and Implementation Framework (MIF), with the INSPIRE Maintenance and Implementation Group, MIG (representatives of the INSPIRE national contact points) and a pool of experts (drawn from the stakeholder community) as its two main pillars.
In 2014, the INSPIRE mid-term evaluation investigated the progress made on the implementation of INSPIRE and suggested a number of areas, where further efforts are needed to reach the objectives underpinning INSPIRE.
The session will give an overview of the status of INSPIRE implementation in the Member States and the on-going work of the MIG and its sub-groups and explain how the maintenance and implementation work programme is being set up and how stakeholder organisations and experts can get involved.
