The researchers of INDVIL met at the University of Agder for a kickoff seminary November 22nd  and 23rd.

The team who will be examining issues regarding data visualization and digital-numeric literacy the next 3,5 years were gathered for the first time to connect and look ahead at the work they will be doing.      - A most inspiring meeting, says project leader Engebretsen.

The participants shared from their academic backgrounds, and discussed what they each would bring to the project. The two-day program included also presentations by professors Wibke Weber, Helen Kennedy and Martin Engebretsen concerning previous and related research projects.
