<H1>About the event</H1>
A number of factors are influencing the way we communicate research in 2015 including new technologies, publishing policies, the variety of research outputs and the assessment of research impact. This conference aims to explore the evolution of research communication and the rising interest in and requirement for data visualisation. What incentives are required for researchers to change how they communicate their work? What role will metrics play in the future at the journal level, article level and researcher level? How can researchers present their work in a visual format and what tools are they required to learn?
Data visualisation is a field that spans all disciplines, yet it is not always done well and visual representations are not used as often as they could be. This may be due to time constraints, publishing limitations or lack of training in the correct graphics or statistics software; how can we combat these issues? How can researchers use visualisations to communicate their work and complement their publications? 
Hackday: In addition to the main conference (24th June), we will be holding an additional research communication &amp; data visualisation hackathon the following day (25th June) which is free to attend.
The final programme will be published shortly...
