Visualizing know how, technological diffusion and the wealth of nations Ricardo Hausmann Director at the Center for International Development & Professor of the Practice of Economic Development, Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University Tuesday, 25 October, 2016, 8:30 AM – 9:30 AM @ Key Ballroom Abstract Recent theories of the wealth and poverty of nations put the accent on the accumulation of collective know how. The fundamental difference between rich and poor countries is not in the average level of individual skills of their citizens but in the kinds of things that can be done collectively. This creates an important visualization problem: how to measure and represent the differential levels of collective know how between countries and regions? How to visualize its evolution in time? How to identify more feasible and effective paths for progress? How can visualization help orient the efforts of the public and private sectors in enhancing progress? Bio Ricardo Hausmann is Director of Harvard’s Center for International Development and Professor of the Practice of Economic Development at the Kennedy School of Government. Previously, he served as the first Chief Economist of the Inter-American Development Bank (1994-2000), where he created the Research Department. He has served as Minister of Planning of Venezuela (1992-1993) and as a member of the Board of the Central Bank of Venezuela. He also served as Chair of the IMF-World Bank Development Committee. He was Professor of Economics at the Instituto de Estudios Superiores de Administracion (IESA) (1985-1991) in Caracas, where he founded the Center for Public Policy. His research interests include issues of growth, macroeconomic stability, international finance, and the social dimensions of development. He holds a PhD in economics from Cornell University.

The three laws of communication Jean-luc Doumont Principiae

Friday, 28 October 2016, 10:30 AM – 11:30 AM @ Key Ballroom

Abstract Useful as each of them can be, a large body of tips and tricks is impossible to remember, at least in a practical, usable way, unless it is structured into a balanced, meaningful hierarchy. This talk proposes and illustrates three simple yet solid ideas that lead to more effective communication and that underpin every other guideline: easy to remember, readily applicable, and always relevant—in short, valuable for the rest of your life. Bio An engineer (Louvain) and PhD in applied physics (Stanford), Jean-luc Doumont is acclaimed worldwide for his no-nonsense approach, his highly applicable, often life-changing recommendations on a wide range of topics, and Trees, maps, and theorems, his book about “effective communication for rational minds.” For additional information, visit www.principiae.be.

DOCTORAL COLLOQUIUM 2017 Call for Participation VIS 2017 will host a Doctoral Colloquium to support the next generation of visualization researchers. Ph.D. students at any stage of their research are invited to apply to participate in the colloquium. Students who will be completing their proposal defense near the time of the colloquium are particularly encouraged to apply. It will incorporate contributions from the scientific visualization, information visualization, and visual analytics student communities. Colloquium participation will offer students insight and support for the framing of their research and will help them create important relationships. Financial support may be available to participants to assist in traveling to the conference. The colloquium will be run as a single day invitation-only event at the beginning of IEEE VIS. Questions?
