MIR@W Day - Data Visualisation

Novel technologies in engineering, medicine, science, and the social sciences generate complex longitudinal and multivariate datasets, making effective data visualisation essential for communicating key insights and building trust in measurement and underlying systems.

Modern approaches build on foundational work by pioneers such as Charles Minard and principles articulated by Edward Tufte, while integrating advances in visual communication, computational design, statistical modelling, and methods such as topological data analysis. These approaches support the systematic assessment of complex data, identification of structural issues, and the generation of reliable, high-fidelity representations for decision-making.

We join forces with CIMLink opens in a new window to offer an event on modern data visualisation in research and the creation of effective narratives for fast-paced communication. Following an introduction to key concepts and approaches, we will focus on how to identify visualisation aims and needs before experimenting with alternative ways of putting them into practice. The event centres on graphical outputs and the stories they tell, rather than on specific coding techniques, making it accessible to participants from a wide range of backgrounds.
