Visualizing Complexity Science Workshop 2026 We invite you to join us in Vienna for an immersive 5-day workshop. Take the challenges to become part of a multi-disciplinary team dedicated to visualizing the results of complexity science research.

@csh.ac.at is hosting another Complexity Science workshop in Vienna! I attended in 2024 & can highly recommend it. I met many data viz practitioners for the first time in Vienna, and I'm happy to have seen quite a few of them again at other events since.
