The Pan-Canadian Geoscience Strategy is a framework for enhanced collaboration between federal, provincial, and territorial geological surveys on five shared, and equally important, national geoscience priorities: Advancing framework geoscience; Advancing mineral and energypotential modelling; Facilitating access to online data; Supporting the training of next generation geoscientists; and Enhancing public literacy in geoscience. The goal is that by enhancing cooperation on these priority areas, geological surveys can better advance economic competitiveness (e.g.supporting mineral/energy exploration) and serve the public good (e.g. supporting evidence-based land use planning, public safety, climate change adaptation). While the Strategy is primarily a framework rather than an action plan, it also lays out some preliminary commitments towards early actions.The Strategy vision, mission statements, and priority areas were developed through consensus among the National Geological Surveys Committee, in consultation with a variety of geoscience users.
