February 10-11, 2013 – Clemson, South Carolina
Application Deadline – November 13, 2013

Visualization plays a significant role in the exploration and Understanding of data across all disciplines with a universal goal: gaining insight into the complex relationships that exist within the data. The need to diversify a field with such far reaching influences is imperative. The purpose of this workshop is to provide an opportunity for networking and mentoring among underrepresented groups in the field of visualization. Clemson University (CU) not only hosts the Palmetto Cluster, utilized by CU faculty to run large scale simulations that are later used in visualization, but also features a number of visualization labs and centers that participants will have an opportunity to visit. The workshop, scheduled for February 2014, is designed to inform, inspire and encourage participants to engage in the multidisciplinary dynamics of visualization.

Who should apply:

Undergraduates, graduate students, post-docs and research scientists with an interest in visualization. The goal of the workshop is to broaden participation of women and underrepresented groups in visualization; however all persons with an interest in visualization are encouraged to apply. Travel expenses (flight or mileage), meals and lodging costs will be provided for workshop participants. While our original funding allowed us to reimburse anyone at a US university, we are now regrettably restricted to reimbursing only US citizens. We recognize this is a serious constraint, but it is a federal regulation on the funding. Persons with their own travel funds wishing to participate in the workshop are also encouraged to apply.

Persons (workshop participants and non-workshop participants) interested in being included in a visualization email list may indicate so on the online application.

All interested persons are encouraged to apply at http://citi.clemson.edu/bpviz2014/#about. Questions can be sent to BPViz2014@gmail.com.
