This conference aims to explore the evolution of research communication and requirement for data visualisation. Data visualisation is a field that spans all disciplines, yet it is not always done well and visual representations are not used as often as they could be. This may be due to time constraints, publishing limitations or lack of training in the correct graphics or statistics software. You will be looking at how to combat these issues and how to help researchers use visualisations to communicate their work and complement their publications. In addition to the main conference there will be a Hackday, an additional research communication & data visualisation hackathon which is free to attend.
