Faculty of Civil and Geodetic Engineering (www.en.fgg.uni-lj.si/) with the Department of Geodetic Engineering has also its roots in 1919. The Faculty offers, among the others, studies and research programs in the fields of geodesy and geo-informatics. In Slovenia, it is the only institution with Bachelor, Master and Doctoral study programs in this field (geospatial data acquisition, including mass data acquisition using satellite remote sensing, airborne and terrestrial technologies, geospatial data modelling and GIS, including semantic integration of spatial data sets, spatial data analyses and decision making based on spatial information; land and real property information systems, etc.). Teachers and researchers are active members in various international associations such as ISPRS, FIG, ICA, IAG. The Faculty of Civil and Geodetic Engineering has been successfully involved in many EU research programs, e.g. 6h and 7th Framework Program, Horizon2020, COST, Leonardo da Vinci, ESPON, INTERREG.
