The aims of GRISI PLUS (Geomatics Rural Information Society Initiative PLUS) are to build a European GeoPortal for the interregional cooperation between regions from all the Members States. This GeoPortal brings together interoperable and multilingual Spatial Data Infrastructures in accordance with INSPIRE Directive.

The GRISI PLUS objective is to improve the effectiveness, modernize and enrich economic development policies in rural areas by increasing the use of geographical information and geomatics tools in order to face the major stakes of rural territories.

GRISI PLUS will introduce a new “modernity” in European rural territories mainly based on:
  • the development and implementation of geomatics tools within the GRISI project (Interreg IIIC)
  • the implementation of welcoming practices for new inhabitants within the SOHO SOLO project (Interreg IIIB)
  • the deployment of the SOHO SOLO programme in the Gers province in France.
The project will show how the Information and Communication Technologies (geomatics tools in particular) can help rural areas to develop their territorial attractiveness in order to attract new inhabitants and to promote their socio-economic heritage.

This project is coordinated by the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Gers (France), and in cooperation with the CEI Gers Gascogne for the deployment of the SOHO SOLO Programme.
