Most students within the NORBIS network will during their career work with large and complex data sets, which may result from biological measurements, computational simulation and/or analytical modelling. Being able to translate complicated research into information that can be interpreted, and even understood by a wide range of audiences, is an important skill that will help our students throughout their career.

During this summer school, our students will learn how to get a better insight into their data through scientific visualisation. Based on this, the students will create a scientific illustration that effectively communicates a selected aspect of their research. The students will further be coached in oral communication of their research, and finally present their project and illustration for each other in a ‘Researcher Grand Prix’ style mini symposium.
