LEOO Science Club at the GISDAY_2025 Conference at the University of Warsaw

On 20 November 2025, students from the LEOO Science Club at Emilia Plater High School No. 2 in Biała Podlaska participated in a series of lectures held during the GISDAY_2025 conference at the University of Warsaw. The programme featured presentations delivered by representatives of various universities and technology start‑ups, including:

• Dr Daniel Zaszewski – University of Warsaw, Faculty of Geology
  “More Than Just Pretty Pictures: The Functional Beauty of Contemporary Cartography”
• Mgr inż. (M.Sc. Eng.) Kyrylo Zharkovskyi – Warsaw University of Technology
  “MLS Technologies in the Fight Against Advertising Chaos”
• Hubert Skoneczny – Sensorbite
  “From Language Models to Spatial Analyses”
• Dr inż. (Dr Eng.) Michał Mierzwiak – Military University of Technology
  “Modelling Spatial Meteorological Data for Short‑Term Solar Forecasting”
• Karolina Turska – GEO‑System
  “How Does Artificial Intelligence Support Geo‑System Solutions?”
• Łukasz Sławik – MGGP Aero
  “COOLCITY: How to Consciously Create Green Spaces and People‑Friendly Cities”
• Kacper Sobczak – University of Warsaw, Faculty of Geography and Regional Studies
  “Can Artificial Intelligence‑Generated Maps Replace GIS?”
• Mateusz Nowakowski – State Water Management
  “GIS Implementations in Polish Waters: Integration, Data, Innovation”
• Dr inż. (Dr Eng.) Łukasz Kwaśny – Warsaw University of Life Sciences
  “Digital Forest – New Dimensions of Geoinformation”

Following the lecture series, students took part in practical workshops, where they learned to use ArcGIS software for working with maps and satellite imagery. They also practised creating 3D spatial visualisations using data from the national Geoportal, gaining valuable hands‑on experience in applied GIS techniques.

Participation in the conference enabled club members to deepen their understanding of geography, geoinformation and artificial intelligence. It also provided an excellent opportunity to develop practical GIS competencies and to become acquainted with the academic environment of the University of Warsaw, inspiring further educational and professional aspirations.
