The European Environment Information and Observation Network (Eionet) is a partnership network of the European Environment Agency (EEA) and its 38 member and cooperating countries.
The concept of Eionet enshrines the following defining principles:
- Institutional cooperation and collaboration coupled with public involvement and participation,
- Ensuring common content, focusing on data, information, indicators and analysis, and
- Establishing shared environmental information infrastructure, standards and web-based tools.
