The 42nd NSDI workshop held

On November 3, 2025, the 42nd National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI) workshop was held, organized by the State Geodetic Administration as the National Contact Point for NSDI, via the Microsoft Teams platform. The workshop was intended for local government units, specifically cities that do not yet have the status of NSDI subjects in accordance with the NSDI Act.

Set of actions for NSDI subjects

The goal of the workshop was to help the aforementioned public authorities in joining NSDI through a series of presentations that explained fundamental concepts and obligations of subjects in the establishment, maintenance, and development of NSDI. The workshop also included a practical session, in which representatives of the cities actively participated by entering their data into the Register of the NSDI Subjects and by registering the spatial data sources under their jurisdiction in the Register of the Spatial Data Sources.
