Esri Lebanon

20/07/2026

We are proud to congratulate Anny Al Andary from the Holy Spirit University of Kaslik - USEK on receiving the 2026 Esri Young Scholar Award (YSA).

The Esri Young Scholar Award recognizes outstanding students from around the world whose innovative use of GIS addresses real-world challenges and advances geospatial science.

Anny's award-winning project, "Horsh Ehden Nature Reserve: Mapping Species Along Trails," demonstrates how GIS can support biodiversity conservation by mapping species distribution, enhancing ecological monitoring, and promoting sustainable management of one of Lebanon's most valuable natural reserves.

This achievement follows another remarkable milestone, as Anny was also the recipient of the 2025 Manal Sayed Award for GIS Innovation in Higher Education, reflecting her continued dedication to advancing geospatial innovation.

Congratulations, Anny, on representing Lebanon and USEK on the global stage at the Esri User Conference 2026. We are proud of your accomplishment and look forward to seeing your future contributions to the GIS community.

👏 Congratulations!

If you're heading to this summer, we would encourage you to add the National Geospatial Symposium to your schedule.

It's an afternoon bringing together government leaders, policymakers, and GIS professionals to have the kind of focused conversations that don't always happen on the main floor. Topics range from data access, cross-agency coordination, and what it takes to move geospatial work forward.
