Overview

Visualizing Complexity Science Workshop offers you the opportunity to apply your perspective and strengths to drive the concept and direction of a data visualization project based on real datasets. This is a unique opportunity to experience a form of collaboration generally not available to visualization professionals.

The 5-day in-person program, held at Complexity Science Hub in central Vienna, features presentations by experts from the international art/science/journalism/visualization communities. See the list of speakers for 2025

Participants will work in teams consisting of professional Scientists, Developers, Visualization Designers, Journalists, and Artists. Each team will be challenged to collaboratively analyze data from current complexity science research problems , then make their own choices about how to visually communicate what they find. Teams will participate in group discussions with scientists and peer professionals, alongside hands-on team working sessions to produce complexity science visualizations.
