What does the Data Story Centre offer?
The Data Story Centre offers a platform that enables teaching staff, researchers and students at Bielefeld University to publish data stories, data analyses and data sets in order to make them accessible to the general public, e.g. scientists from other disciplines, students and interested citizens.
Why is the Data Story Centre important?
Data is a central basis for decision-making in many areas of life - both personally and professionally, but also socially and politically. The current climate crisis and, more recently, the coronavirus pandemic illustrate just how important data-driven action is.
