Pillar 1• Sustainable soil management practices and systems
(urban, forest, agriculture)• Identification of SSM adapted to European context• Establishment of networks > practitioners, advisors, etc.
• Inventory of European contaminated sites• Revision of the indicator “Progress in the management of
contaminated sites in Europe”• EC, EEA, EIONET, Common Forum
• Support the development of SDG indicators/targets• Implementation of the SDGs in Europe• JRC, IASS, etc.

Pillar 2• Development of communication strategies and tools• Soil Atlas (Soil Atlas of Europe, Soil Biodiversity)• Events (e.g. EUROSOIL 2016, 2020)
• Support to EU and national soil policies development• Policy briefings (e.g. JRC Technical Reports)
• Science-policy interface• Event on the follow-up and review of the SDGs (Global Soil
Week 2017)

Pillar 3• Build on current (applied) research activities• Gain an overview and identify gaps/needs• Promote interdisciplinary research
• Implementation plan for research in joint collaboration• tbd (University of Wageningen NL, JRC, partners from
Turkey > next EUROSOIL conference 2016)

Pillar 4• Develop a comprehensive soil profile and analytical
database• Collate existing datasets (Europe is data rich)• Build a network of data providers (e.g. intellectual Property
Rights)
• Revise and update the digital Soil Map of the World with the design scale 1:1M from national soil polygon data sets and SOTER maps • eSOTER approach is being used in Danube basin and could
be rolled out to rest of ESP region

Future planning Short term (2016/2017): functional ESP• Finalization of the RIP • Cooperation with existing soil networks • Promotion of the ESP Long (middle) term (2017/2020): deliverables• Report on SSM best practices• EUROSOIL 2020: promote synergies policy-science• SWSR 2020: European Regional Report

Concluding remarks• Summary of main achievements and challenges we are on track… main challenge: coordination existing networks, existing knowledge !!• Suggestions to progress with the implementation using VGSSM for European context (adaptation of
RIP) seeking inspiration from other RSPs
