Elo~adás címe: **What did we learn about the Milky Way during the last 
decade, and what shall we learn using Gaia and LSST? *

Kivonat:
Studies of stellar populations, understood to mean collections of stars 
with common spatial, kinematic, chemical, and/or age distributions, have 
been reinvigorated during the last decade by the advent of large-area 
sky surveys such as SDSS, 2MASS, RAVE, and others. These data, together 
with theoretical and modeling advances, are revolutionizing our 
understanding of the nature of the Milky Way, and galaxy formation and 
evolution in general. These recent developments have made it clear that 
the Milky Way is a complex and dynamic structure, one that is still 
being shaped by the merging of neighboring smaller galaxies. I will 
review the progress over the last decade, and will briefly discuss new 
breakthroughs expected from Gaia and LSST surveys, which will improve 
measurement precision manyfold, and comprise billions of individual stars.
