eENVplus project is a pilot action project within the EU CIP competitiveness and innovation framewrok programme. The aim of this project is to integrate a huge amount of environmental data put at disposal by the involved national/regional environmental agencies and other public and private environmental stakeholders through the integration and harmonisation of existing services in order to answer to the requests of environmental monitoring and reporting drafted by the European, national and local policies and actions. The pilot starting from the results of previous European experiences (funded projects, good practices, EU/national/local experiences) integrates them into an operational framework able to overcame the cross-border/languages barriers.
