Exploring VGI platform was set up in 2017 to aggregate several projects aiming at using and adding value to Volunteer Geographical Information (VGI). First projects were initiated within the context of COS action TD 1202 (Mapping and the Citizen Sensor; http://www.cost.eu/COST_Actions/ict/TD1202) and IC 1203 (European Network Exploring Research into Geospatial Information Crowdsourcing: software and methodologies for harnessing geographic information from the crowd - ENERGIC; http://www.cost.eu/COST_Actions/ict/IC1203).
