About Geodetic institute of Slovenia

Geodetic Institute of Slovenia (GI) is a leading Slovenian public institution for geodetic, geoinformatic, photogrammetric, cartographic and hydrographic research and development, established in 1953. Funded completely project-wise, GI plays a bridging role between public, private and research sectors. A significant part of the projects is elaborated for the Surveying & Mapping Authority and practically all national ministries. GI is a national contact point for land cover mapping. In cartography and mapping, GI holds four awards for “Excellence in Cartography” by the International Cartographic Association (Ottawa, 1999, Durban, 2003, Paris, 2011, Washington, 2017). GI is authorized to operate national spatial data infrastructure services such as supervision of data quality in real estate, national cyclical aerial photogrammetric products, national lidar products, distribution of precise GPS/GNSS data processed by the national reference stations network, and dissemination of maritime hydrographic data. Maps and spatial data are produced in conformance with INSPIRE directive, International Hydrographic Organization (IHO) and International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) standards. GI coordinated the transition of the whole country to a new European coordinate system. The institute took part in the establishment of a new real estate register and a system of real estate assessment.
