IMPULS PROJECT STEERING COMMITTEE MEETING

A regular meeting of the IMPULS Project Steering Committee was held on 24 September 2015 in Budva, Montenegro. This project supports activities of the cadastral and mapping agencies of the Western Balkans countries in the field of spatial data infrastructure. Implementing partners in this project are Lantmäteriet (the Swedish geodetic authority) and the State Geodetic Administration of the Republic of Croatia.

The Steering Committee comprises the Directors of the cadastral and mapping agencies, and its meetings are held twice a year.

Among other things, the project implementation status by all project components and future activities were discussed in the meeting.

The Steering Committee members highlighted their satisfaction with the project implementation so far, but the specific needs to improve the project contents were also pointed out in the discussion. The Western Balkans region needs support in both training in the field of spatial data infrastructure and concrete impacts in the form of pilot projects.

During the meeting, the Directors, the Steering Committee members, provided brief updates on current activities in their agencies, with a special emphasis on challenges in implementation of important projects in the land administration sector.
