SCI-VI SEMINAR LISBON about SCIENCE ANIMATION

26-27 October 2023 // 10-15h // NOVA FCSH Lisbon, Portugal

How to communicate your research visually?

ABSTRACT SUBMISSION DEADLINE

5TH OCTOBER 2023

The Sci-Vi Seminar Lisbon organizes its third yearly event in October 2023. This year’s program is a fusion of the last two years’ seminars, where 2021 focused on the theoretical syllabus, and 2022 introduced a science communication matchmaking session between researchers and artists. Science animation production as a collaborative process offers new opportunities for flexible production planning and tools to keep up with the media novelties. The 2023 seminar summarizes visual science communication theory and practice, where the participants use their own research and develop their own science visualization plan with the help of animation professionals. This two-day seminar is a test ride for the future plans of a longer Sci-Vi Course, where the participants, besides learning and practicing visual science communication theory, collaborate with the visual artists to create a short animated explainer about their research. The 2023 event is organized and founded by iNOVA Media Lab/ICNOVA and hosted by NOVA FCSH in collaboration with the Sci-Vi Initiative (from The Animation Workshop, VIA UC, Viborg, Denmark) on the 26th and 27th of October 2023 in Lisbon, Portugal.
