Abstract
The results of EU-project Geotrainet (2008-2011) and the work done for transforming these results into a continuous training scheme had been reported at EGC 2013. Meanwhile, the required legal entity to manage this scheme had been created end of 2013, and started is legal existence in spring 2014. The first courses after the end of the original project in January 2011 have been carried out in 2013 and 2014. In 2015, the European Training Committee (ETC) has been created, to oversee the revision of the curricula and to co-ordinate the national training activities. The European level thus is fully operational, at least in theory.
