Making Research Visible – Visual Thinking for Science Communication
When: Wed, 13.05.2026 9:30 AM until Mon, 18.05.2026 12:30 PM
Where: Hamburg Research Academy, Gorch-Fock-Wall 7, 20354 Hamburg
Do you want to communicate your research clearly and sharpen your messages? Learn how to convey complex content using simple drawings – for other researchers, stakeholders, and the public.
Visualizations make research tangible and break down barriers. They facilitate collaboration across disciplines, reduce misunderstandings, and create transparency. They also help you structure your own thoughts and recognize connections.
What to expect
- Visual Thinking: You pick up the pen yourself and develop your visual vocabulary.
- Visual Storytelling: What messages are hidden in your research results? Learn about narrative structure and storytelling methods.
- Storytelling with diagrams: Concept development for concise graphics
You need no drawing skills – this is about communication, not art.
