ASIG–ASPA training on “National Infrastructure for the Provision of Geospatial Data and Services” Held

Within the framework of the cooperation between State Authority for Geospatial Information (ASIG) and the Albanian School of Public Administration (ASPA), on June 11, 2026, a training session on “National Infrastructure for the Provision of Geospatial Data and Services” was held.

This activity brought together representatives of public administration institutions with the aim of enhancing their knowledge and skills in the management, use, and exchange of geospatial information.

During the training, participants were introduced to the fundamental principles of the INSPIRE Directive, geoinformation standards, responsible public authorities, as well as the legal and regulatory framework governing the National Geospatial Data Infrastructure in Albania.

Particular attention was given to the National Geoportal, the metadata catalogue, geospatial data, and network services. In the practical session, participants used the functionalities of the National Geoportal to access, visualize, download, and utilize geospatial data.

Through the discussion of these topics, the importance of standardization, interoperability, and inter-institutional cooperation in supporting planning and decision-making based on geospatial data was highlighted.

Participants attending this training will be awarded a certificate by ASPA.
