This course provides scientists with the basic understanding of data visualization principles to communicate their results through impactful and accurate charts and graphs. The principles of graphic design and information visualization that form the course are useful to show results in conferences, articles, or to build exploratory visualizations to interrogate the data.

In this course you will:

- Be able to choose the most suitable visualization, depending on the intended purpose.
- Learn to transform the analyses and conclusions into narratives.
- Get to know and understand current techniques for data visualization

The contents of the course come from the field of data visualization and are independent of any particular research area. Thus, they can be applied in a variety of fields as long as they involve data, and the need to visually communicate complex information.

Participants will be asked to bring an idea/draft of a visualization related to their area of interest, to develop it during the course. More information will be sent some weeks before the course.
Students may use their visualization software of choice. In case of not having one, the trainers will provide a few options.
