Tanja Rodin, MSc was born in Split, Republic of Croatia. She graduated from the Faculty of Geodesy University of Zagreb in 2008. She obtained her Master’s degree in Geoinformation Science and Earth Observation with a specialisation in Environmental Modelling and Management from the University of Twente, Netherlands, in 2011. Since then, she has been working in the State Geodetic Administration in GIS and NSDI (National Spatial Data Infrastructure). She is responsible for the implementation of the NSDI Act and Directive INSPIRE (EC Directive 2007/2) as well as giving continuous support to NSDI subjects in fulfilling their obligations in relation to the Act. Her technical competences include GIS and geospatial data analysis, transformation, visualisation and interpretation. She has experience in maintaining and developing the national spatial data geoportal and metadata catalogue. In the period from 2019 to 2021, she participated as an expert in two EU-funded projects, “Capacity building for the establishment of NSDI” and “Increasing the availability of NSDI spatial data through e-services”. She also participated in the Twinning project “Improving spatial data services in the Republic of Moldova in accordance with EU standards” which lasted from 2020 to 2023.
