Spatial Data Infrastructure Days (SDI Days) is one of the Croatian State Geodetic Administration (SGA) activities on the path to European Union (EU) next year. Implementation of the INSPIRE Directive in national legislative is one of the priorities to adopt the EU regulative in the field of spatial information. SDI has been a rapidly expanding in the field of the development of information society and the knowledge economy.

The Croatian Cartographic Society by participating in the organization of the SDI Days wants once again to contribute to the development of geoinformatics, cartography, geography and related fields. This time the emphasis is on spatial data infrastructure which will change understanding of character, importance and use of spatial data. Welcome to SDI Days in Zagreb in September, 2012! |

a number of challenges. In that context, the organizers of the SDI Days wish to contribute to the development of geoinformatics, cartography, geography, geodesy, geology and related fields, with special emphasis on SDI.
So far, three NSDI and INSPIRE Days and Cartography and Geoinformation Conferences were organized in Varaždin, Opatija and Split. Motivated by the great interest at last year’s conferences and the need to promote knowledge on spatial information, the organizers would like to emphasize activities at the regional level this year, i.e. the area of the South Eastern Europe.
This year, as part of the project INSPIRATION – Spatial Data Infrastructure in the Western Balkans, the event includes the 1st regional INSPIRE forum and 2nd regional INSPIRE training. Project INSPIRATION is a regional project
funded by the European Union’s Multi‐Beneficiary Programme with a purpose to promote SDI and further coordinate its implementation in the seven South-Eastern Europe countries.
A wide range of topics on the SDI Days and distinguished keynote speakers guarantee interesting lectures and an up-to-date approach.
