The Summer Series “Visualize Your Research” – a joint event of DWIH Tokyo and DWIH New York from June 22 to August 21, 2021 – addressed this and other questions. Students from the US, Germany and Japan had the opportunity to expand their knowledge in data visualization, to learn about applications to their own research and to build an international network.
