Mini-Symposium June 15th 2007

IRCSET

This Information Visualisation symposium saw people from industry and academia from around Ireland come together for a mini-symposium on Information Visualisation. Aaron Quigley chaired the event with support from Lero and with support from IRCSET for our keynote who was attending our VGV GREP expert panel the next day. 

One of our external academic participants said, “I was impressed by the range and quality of the Info Vis PhD/Masters projects here. The projects were pushing the science, and they were clearly well-grounded in industrial reality. I think you have an excellent research environment, and it was a pleasure to be here.

Another of our partner academics said, “I just wanted to write a quick thank you for the Information Visualisation Day you organised last June. I found it very useful and it was a great opportunity to meet with people doing like-minded things.

One of our external industry participants said, “The symposium was a very interesting event with many innovative presentations. Such events are also a great opportunity for industry and research to meet and discuss areas of mutual interest. I’d certainly like you to keep both myself and the wider team here in Dublin informed of any future events which may be of interest to us.
