Opening of the Travelling Exhibition “A journey through data: Making research visible”

The exhibition provides insights into the handling of research data across a range of disciplines at Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf. Through a series of roll-up displays, researchers present how research data are generated, used, documented, and made sustainably available in their projects.

To mark the opening, the participating researchers will introduce their contributions in short five-minute lightning talks in English. Afterwards, the exhibition will continue its journey as a travelling exhibition, visiting interested institutes across HHU—thus embarking on its own “data journey” through the university.
