Description: The project aims to improve the curriculum of partnership faculties by introducing the concept of Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI), and e-government as well as the extended concepts such as smart cities, a single digital market, the smart environment based SDI, etc. Project activities (cases) will refer to the two groups of students, students whose primary specialization is management of geospatial data (eg. Geodesy and Geomatics) and students of other faculties who use the SDI concept, for example. spatial planners, students of forestry, geography, agriculture, etc. One of the bottlenecks of the current SDI development and e-government in the Western Balkans region is the lack of qualified specialists for the establishment of SDI, as well as their use for different purposes, thus maximizing their potential value. National cartographic cadastral agencies and other institutions responsible for the implementation of a number of directives and programs of partner countries are not at the level of European standards in developing SDI. Students who graduate under the new program will contribute to faster development of these "weak" infrastructure.
