Spatial Data Infrastructure in Green Education

Abstract: Functioning of modern society today is based on spatial data and their efficient use for decision making. With the progress of fourth industrial revolution, also named digital revolution, mentioned fact will become even more relevant. Efficient use of spatial data is based on standardized procedures of data collection, modelling, storage, use and dissemination. Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) is such standard focused on basic sets of spatial data. Implementation of SDI and geoinformatics technologies require in mentioned context new knowledges and skills. Knowledge and skills tied to use of spatial data incorporated in SDI concept represents new paradigm for all spatial data related professions. Towards modernization, standardization and level rising of SDI education on the universities in Western Balkans region, in the frame of Erasmus+ program, the BESTSDI has been launched. Recognizing global relevance of spatial data and SDI, project consortium gathered faculties providing study programs in geodesy, geoinformatics, geology, geography, mining, civil engineering, agriculture and forestry. Conducting detailed SDI education status and stakeholder’s requirement analysis, project has developed SDI curricula which has been implemented at partner universities and is in test execution in academic year 2018/19. At the University of Montenegro Biotechnical Faculty in Podgorica and Faculty of Philosophy in Nikšić several courses haw been modernized with SDI curricula content. Beside the new knowledges and skills introduction of SDI in study programs should improve understanding between professions and support interdisciplinarity. General information about BESTSDI project, its goals and expected results as well as information about implemented SDI courses are presented in this paper.
