GISCO - the Geographic Information System of the Cоmmission

Description

GISCO is responsible for meeting the European Commission's geographical information needs at 3 levels: the European Union, its member countries, and its regions. GISCO manages a database of geographical information, and provides related services to the Commission. Its database contains core geographical data covering the whole of Europe, such as administrative boundaries, and thematic geospatial information, such as population grid data. Some data are available for download by the general public and may be used for non-commercial purposes. The main goal of GISCO's various activities and long-term projects is to better integrate statistical and geospatial information at the EU level.
