CO2GeoNet -Europe's Network of Excellence on the geological storage of CO2-
held its fifth Open Forum in Venice, 10-11 May 2010
CO2GeoNet has succeeded beyond the EC FP6 founded Network of Excellence, and is now a legally registered non-profit Association. Its main aim is to strengthen its position as the European scientific reference body dealing with all aspects of CO2 geological storage.
The focus of this 5th Open Forum was to develop strategic international collaboration between CO2GeoNet and major national, European and international initiatives and networks. More than 70 participants from all Europe and from Canada, China and Japan attended the meeting.

During the four thematic sessions, stakeholders were given the opportunity to:
- hear concrete examples of CO2GeoNet’s activities and future directions regarding the Association’s four areas of activity: research, training and capacity building, scientific advice, information and communication;
- have an overview on the role of major initiatives and networks towards the development of CO2 geological storage worldwide;
- learn about and from what is actually being put into practice (through the presentations of selected pilot and demonstration projects);
- share, discuss and interact with the aim of creating new links (and strengthening existing ones) between initiatives and networks.
