Actually three of the six Hungarian thematic SDIs selected for the EU eSDI-Netplus project will be displayed: PIR (a GPS and Earth Observation supported National Ragweed Registry Information System), VinGIS, (Vineyard Registry Information System) both of the FÖMI RSC, as well as TeIR (Territorial Information System of Hungary) of VÁTI.

PIR is an excellent example on operational thematic SDI, which has significant socio-economic impact providing benefit in the fields of public health, agricultural and environmental policy planning, implementation and control. HUNAGI promoted this innovative approach at the Side Meeting on Environment and Health organised by EPA at the GEO- V Plenary in Bucarest last November.
