We’re delighted to welcome Marcin Stawarz back as a Qlik Educator Ambassador for 2026. Through his work at Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń, Poland, Marcin continues to play an important role in advancing data literacy and helping students develop practical analytics skills through the Qlik Academic Program.
Marcin is a Research Assistant at the Faculty of Economic Sciences and Management, where he teaches subjects related to economics, management, data analysis, and data science. In his teaching, he focuses strongly on bridging theory with practice, encouraging students to work directly with real datasets and modern analytics tools.
To support this approach, Marcin integrates Qlik Sense into his courses, giving students the opportunity to explore data, build visualizations, and develop critical analytical thinking. Through hands-on projects and practical exercises, students gain valuable experience using tools that are widely used in industry today.
Over the past year, Marcin has continued to expand the practical elements of his teaching by incorporating group projects, real-world datasets, and project-based learning activities. He also integrates the Qlik Data Literacy Program and Qlik Sense Qualifications, providing students with structured opportunities to develop and validate their analytics skills.
These experiences are helping students prepare for careers in data-driven roles. Many of Marcin’s students have gone on to secure internships and job opportunities where their analytics and Qlik experience has helped them stand out.
Looking ahead, Marcin plans to further enhance his courses by introducing more advanced topics such as machine learning concepts, streaming data, API integrations, and more advanced data visualization techniques. His goal is to ensure that students are equipped with the skills needed for the rapidly evolving analytics landscape.
As a returning Qlik Educator Ambassador, Marcin continues to contribute to a global community of educators dedicated to improving analytics education and empowering the next generation of data professionals.
We’re excited to have Marcin continue as part of the Qlik Educator Ambassador community and look forward to the impact of his work in the year ahead.
