Hi all,

could coordinate our efforts/travels.

How can indicators, and a big number of figures in particular, be
visualised concisely for their target audiences (managers, politicians,
the broader public, etc.)? What kinds of aggregation, selection and
illustration modes are conceivable?  And how can the trends that the
indicators disclose be presented in these various modes and how their
interpretation/evaluation transmitted? If these are challenges that you
face as a statistician, researcher, journalist, controller, or graphic
designer when attempting to provide useful indicator-based information,
you might be interested in contributing to or attending this upcoming
conference:

Visualising Indicators International Conference on "Visualising and
Presenting Indicator Systems"

14 - 16 March 2005, Swiss Federal Statistical Office, Neuchâtel,
Switzerland


The conference's objectives are know-how exchange and capacity building
in the interlinked areas of:

 Demonstrative aggregation (visual, numeric) and audience-compatible
 presentation (maps, 'telling' indicators, ...)

 Significant selection (key / flagship / headline indicators, thematic
 subsets)

 Comprehensible declaration of trends and evaluations (traffic lights,
 smilies, arrows, ...)

The conference offers an opportunity for sharing experiences and
creating synergies by bringing together expertise as well as open
questions from specialists in visualising indicators coming from various
backgrounds such as environment, economy, controlling, quality of life,
education, MDGs and sustainable development.

For the call for contributions and further information see

Bye,
Kenneth
