INSPIRE Conferences

Each year a European INSPIRE conference is held to provides a forum for stakeholders from government, academia and industry to hear about and discuss the latest developments of the INSPIRE Directive.

This conference provides an excellent opportunity to present Europe's INSPIRE Directive to the community and hear about the developments in National SDIs.

The conferences are organised through a series of plenary sessions addressing common policy issues, and parallel sessions and workshops focusing in particular on applications and implementations of SDIs, research issues and new and evolving technologies and applications.

The 3rd INSPIRE Conference took place in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, 15-19 June 2009, in conjunction with the Eleventh International Conference of the GSDI Association, Building SDI Bridges to Address Global Challenges. and the National conference on Dutch SDI: Results and Challenges.
