Memorandum 113
Supplementary submission from the Department
for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs
EO Forum is a gathering of UK government departments
and agencies interested in the uses and applications of Earth
observation to their problems. The Forum is non-executive and
simply provides a means to share information about individual
strategies and activities and look for common approaches/shared
activities. Representation is at a relatively operational level
and we are considering whether it could become a more formal body.
Current representation includes Defra, Scottish
Executive, Welsh Assembly, Forestry Commission, Environment Agency,
Natural England, Joint Nature Conservation Committee, Countryside
Council for Wales, Scottish Natural Heritage, English Heritage,
Highways Agency, British National Space Centre, Cefas, Lancaster
County Council. Membership is open to any public body.
