Final Report Summary - DIVA (“DIVA: Data Intensive Visualization and Analysis”)
According to the main ITN program goals, DIVA has involved its early stage and experienced researchers in intensive network-wide training activities, which included three multi-day summer schools in 2012, 2013 and 2014 as well as four progress report workshops in 2013, 2014 and 2015 (2x). The summer schools incorporated an important and substantial amount of complimentary skill training to broaden the fellows project experiences. Fellow exchanges between the partner institutions completed the network-wide training actions. Furthermore, intensive training was achieved by local training and education at each host site, as well as by continuous training-through-research as part of the fellow's individual project work packages.
With respect to outreach and dissemination activities, DIVA has been successful in various ways. The main activity of dissemination was by means of a large number of peer-reviewed high-impact publications, regular conference and workshop presentations and additional web-based announcements. The dissemination and research output has been very strong and all publications, with no less than 80 directly project related, are listed on http://diva-itn.eu/publications.html. Further outreach achievements from the project include presentations of DIVA related research and training activities at selected special events reaching the broader public or other related special interest groups, as well as many exhibition and demonstration activities aimed at a wider public audience as detailed in the periodic reports. In particular, DIVA was a major partner, co-organizer or co-sponsor of a number of international events, where research fellows were involved in presentations, tutorials as well as demonstrations.
