The creation of maps and other cartographic products is now almost unthinkable without the use of geographic information systems and other digital technologies. At the Department of Geoinformatics and Didactics of Informatics, we have been actively involved in practical cartography since 2014, when we published our first printed map to support tourism in the region. Currently, in the hallway of Building G in the KGD area, you can observe one of the department's most recent accomplishments—a large map specifically designed for the Anifilm 2023 visitor centre.

Studying at university is sometimes a mass of theory, in which students lose sight of their career after graduation. How to compensate for this?

For the students of our GIS and Remote Sensing courses, we have prepared an excursion to ARCDATA PRAHA and CENIA.
