Women in Visual Analytics

Organizer: 
Daniel A. Keim

Goal of the BOF session is to attract female students to work in our field. The idea is that a few successful female researchers share the experience of their careers and highlight some lessons learned and things To-Do or Not-To-Do. The participants will get to know successful female role models in their field of research and they will be able to learn from their experience. On the impact side, the BOF session should help to inspire more female Ph.D. students to work in our research area and due to the availability of travel support from the strategic research on "Scalable Visual Analytics" funded by the German Science Foundation (http://www.visualanalytics.de) more female Ph.D. students will be able to attend the VisWeek conference.
