The stories were created with the use of our in-house developed dashboard called ‘Melody’. Project leader Valentina Presutti will show how to use this interface and what stories Polifonia-data can tell us.

About Researchers’ Night
The European Researchers’ Night is an initiative promoted by the European Commission since 2005 which involves thousands of researchers and research institutions every year in all European countries. The European Researchers’ Night takes place every year across Europe and neighboring countries on the last Friday of September. The goal is to create opportunities for researchers and citizens to meet to spread the scientific culture and knowledge of the research professions in an informal and stimulating context. The events include live scientific experiments and demonstrations, exhibitions and guided visits, conferences and popular seminars, shows, concerts and artistic performances.
