Data visualisation (theory) - 12.03.2026 - Registration OPEN

Researchers often face overwhelming raw data, making it crucial to utilize data visualization effectively. This skill transforms complex datasets into clear, insightful narratives, avoiding the pitfalls of misinterpretation through poor design. In this course, we’ll explore optimal chart types for different data, engage in interactive exercises, and discuss best practices, all illustrated with practical examples.

NB! This is a theoretical interactive course with many examples and tips, group work and discussion. There is no hands-on chart creation.
