InfraVis Days in Växjö, 21-23 April 2026 (internal event)
InfraVis Days at Linnaeus University clearly showed what InfraVis is all about: a national research infrastructure that makes knowledge production possible in ways that no single environment can achieve alone.
Over three rewarding days, colleagues from all eight InfraVis nodes came together as one shared national capacity. These meetings highlight how InfraVis works as a holistic infrastructure, where strong local expertise combines into something far greater than the sum of its parts. The real value lies in the synergies between nodes and how they lead to concrete research outcomes.
User examples made this especially tangible, from visualizing global deforestation data to exploring how archaeological knowledge is produced and displayed in a museum context. Together, they illustrate how InfraVis is a core part of data‑intensive research in Sweden.
Warm thanks to our generous hosts Karen Larkina, Andreas Kerren, and the entire Linnaeus University node.
