EUROGEO promotes the European dimension in geographical education as a contribution towards the development of European citizenship. By doing so, EUROGEO encourages the development of a greater European awareness through the medium of geography and increases mutual knowledge and understanding of Europe. EUROGEO, in affiliation with other organisations, has produced a large number of publications and has organised geography conferences, meetings and workshops on a regular basis. Representatives of professional educational associations have been actively involved in policy making through our work with the Parliamentary Assembly and the Council of Europe. Recent activities include climate change, human rights, Cloud computing, Digital Agenda, new skills, entrepreneurship.
EUROGEO also supports those seeking to establish or organise national geography associations and those that promote geography as an academic discipline and geographers in the workplace. It is clear that spatial skills and geographical information on the Web are increasingly important. The roles that geography and geographers play are being challenged by these new geo-opportunities. Those involved with the EUROGEO association are seeking to monitor and support these developments.

EUROGEO has participative status in the Council of Europe and is seeking to illustrate how geographical awareness is critical to many areas of EU policy, from Industry and Energy to Tourism and Transport. The role of geo-technologies is paramount to decision making for our cities and our environment.

EUROGEO has special consultative status at ECOSOC United Nations, participating at several organs as Commission for Social Development, Committee on Non-Governmental Organizations, UN-Habitat, Committee of Experts on Global Geospatial Information Management

The list below only covers meetings held since November 2014 with commissioners, their cabinet members or directors-general at the European Commission; other lobby meetings with lower-level staff may have taken place, but the European Commission doesn't proactively publish information about these meetings. For more information about which commissioner is responsible for which portfolio, check out this link: https://commissioners.ec.europa.eu/index_en All information below comes from European Commission web pages.

1 July 2024: We have noted that some meetings are appearing in duplicate, ie. some meetings seem to be listed twice. This seems to be because the Commission changes some element of a meeting data after the meeting has first been listed, which causes LobbyFacts to register it as a new meeting. We are investigating further.
