Workshop: Effective Data Visualisation

The availability of digitized data has been growing at an exponential rate and the utilization of this data can lead to a more complex understanding of various research areas. In order to communicate this knowledge effectively, it is often essential to use visualizations to provide a clear picture of your key arguments. This workshop will cover: 

  • What makes a good visualisation? 

  • Bar charts, Line graphs, Maps, and Scatter Plots 

  • Choosing the right method for the story you want to tell 

  • Examples of different technical approaches, Excel, Google Charts, and Python 

The workshop will take place on Microsoft Teams.
