Strengthened collaboration in visualisation

"The goal of the collaboration is to form an open and neutral platform for academy, industry and society, which will promote and facilitate work within visualisation"

Monica Billger, academic leader and director of VisRes.

Anyone who use, research or develop in visualisation, and those who seek inspiration and information about how to benefit from visualisation, are welcome to take part of the collaboration platform. Researchers and teachers at Chalmers and University of Gothenburg are welcome to book the studio and lobby at Visual Arena free of charge.

In practice, the new agreement includes coordination of activities such as seminars, workshops, training and joint project initiatives. The parties will together invest and develop the infrastructure currently available at Visual Arena, with high-tech visualisation equipment, studio labs, facilities?, workplaces and meeting rooms. A goal is also to bring in new partners, such as Johanneberg Science Park, Sahlgrenska Science Park and Universeum, which are about to build a new visualisation dome.

Åsa Andblad, Program Manager for Visual Arena, is commissioned to lead the joint work. "The vision is that West Sweden will continue to develop as a nationally and internationally recognised center for visualisation," says Åsa Andblad.
 
A strategic steering committee will be appointed with representatives from all involved partners and funders: Lindholmen Science Park, Chalmers, University of Gothenburg, Västra Götalandsregionen and Gothenburg City.
