INSPIRE datasets move to the European Data Portal
From 1 July 2026, INSPIRE datasets will be searchable and accessible
through the European Data Portal, making it easier to discover
geospatial information alongside millions of other public sector
datasets from across Europe. As part of this transition, the INSPIRE
Geoportal will be retired on 1 July 2026.  

This move ensures continued access to INSPIRE datasets, while making
them easier to discover through a more integrated data ecosystem. The
European Data Portal provides a single access point to data published
by public administrations and organisations throughout Europe. By
bringing INSPIRE datasets into this broader ecosystem, users can
explore geospatial resources alongside other data on topics such as
mobility, environment, energy, health and public services. 

To support geospatial data users, the European Data Portal offers
dedicated search capabilities, including a geospatial filter
[https://data.europa.eu/data/datasets?source_type=geospatial&locale=en]
and a dedicated dashboard for high-value datasets
[https://data.europa.eu/en/hvd-dashboard] (including geospatial
datasets), providing insights by category, country, metadata quality
and data format.  In addition, a geo-viewer enables users to preview
geospatial distributions directly from the portal, helping them better
understand available data before downloading and reusing it. Further
filtering of INSPIRE datasets will also be added to the
functionalities.  

Whether you are a researcher, policymaker, developer, journalist or
data enthusiast, the European Data Portal offers new opportunities to
discover, access and reuse geospatial data from across Europe through
a single, modern platform.
