The Chair of Visual Analytics (https://vcg.informatik.uni-rostock.de/en/)
investigates methods to support humans understand large and complex data.
To maximize human-machine synergies, we combine expressive visual
representations, effective interaction techniques, and powerful analytical
approaches. As part of the Institute for Visual & Analytic Computing (
https://vac.uni-rostock.de/en/), we collaborate closely with partners in
various domains to activate the full potential of Visual Analytics
approaches for gaining insight into heterogeneous and multi-faceted data.

The Hanseatic City of Rostock is a great place to study, research and live.
The economic and scientific center of the northeast is very attractive,
with all the atmosphere of a major city in the middle of one of the most
beautiful parts of Germany. The University of Rostock (
https://www.uni-rostock.de/en/) was founded in 1419 and today, with
approximately 14,000 students and 2,933 employees, it offers fascinating
perspectives in almost all scientific fields. The University of Rostock has
an excellent interdisciplinary research landscape covering natural and
technical sciences, medicine, life sciences, humanities and cultural
studies.
