Join us for a three-part training series on data visualisation
and learn how to turn complex data into clear, ethical, and
engaging visuals. Led by data visualisation expert and professor
Alberto Cairo, each 90-minute session combines theory, hands-on
practice, and curated materials to help you design visualisations
that communicate insights effectively. The sessions are open to all
backgrounds and experience levels, and attending all three is
highly recommended.
Session 1: Foundations of
effective data visualisation
What is data visualisation really about, and what common
myths hold us back? In this first session, taking place
on Tuesday, 14 October 2025, from 16:30 to 18:00
CEST, you’ll explore the foundations of information design
and learn Alberto Cairo’s personal decision-making
framework for creating meaningful visualisations. You’ll
learn how to tailor your design choices to your audience, your
communication goals, and the specific context of your data. Expect
historical examples, practical insights, and a fresh perspective on
what makes data visualisation truly effective.
To get the full value of this series, make sure to register for
