Hackathon: Transform your ideas into graphs! Visualization of research data

The hackathon ‘Transform your ideas into graphs! Visualization of research data’ is a three-day online event hosted by the Infra4NextGen project.

Individuals or teams will produce visualizations of data for a chance to win a share of €4,000.

Participants will showcase results using data from the European Social Survey (ESS), CROss-National Online Survey (CRONOS) Panel, European Values Study (EVS) or Generations and Gender Programme (GGP).

Hackathon entrants can use any software or tools to create visualizations.

Kick off day one of the Data Visualization Hackathon with an inspiring talk by Cedric Scherer!

A renowned data visualization designer, Cedric transforms complex data into beautiful, impactful visuals using programming tools like R and ggplot2, along with design platforms like Figma.

His work, featured in scientific journals and international media, uniquely combines technical skill with artistic creativity.

Join us to gain insights from Cedric and take your data storytelling to the next level!
