The Datalab blog examines data practices and regional transformations in Eastern Europe, fostering dialogue between scholars and practitioners through case studies, visualizations, and interdisciplinary essays.
The DataLab provides training sessions and workshops for young and experienced researchers from the KonKoop network and the project’s partners
This new database presents comprehensive information on 51 accessible collections of protest event data
Conflict and Cooperation Database
The catalog provides a list of available datasets and sources covering the regions of Eastern Europe, Central Asia, and South Caucasus.
Critical Cartography and Map Analysis
One of the main directions of the VisLab is to develop and provide a systematic and critical analysis of peace and conflict visualisations with the intention to articulate relevant concepts, explore features and develop its typologies
Drawing on the analysis of visualisations and best practices, the VisLab will explore and propose a variety of visualisation approaches related to the topic lines and case studies in the KonKoop project.
In this inventory, the VisLab collects diverse examples in which peace, conflict and their entanglements with other socio-spatial processes are visualised by various actors (e.g. scientists, media, or artists).
As a fellow scholar on the Erasmus Mundus Cartography M.Sc., Iaroslav Boretskii studied Cartography, Geoinformatics and Graphic Design over four consecutive semesters at Technical University Munich (TUM), Technische Universität Wien (TUW), Technische Universität Dresden (TUD), and the University of Twente (ITC Department). He wrote his Master’s thesis on a data visualisation suggestion system for the Sustainable Development Goals. In summer 2022, he also participated in an Advanced Data Journalism Workshop for Eastern European Journalists organised by Interlink.Academy in Hamburg.
Iaroslav’s work and research interests include visual communication, data journalism, infographics, multimedia cartography and interactive data-driven visualisations, particularly in relation to social and economic geography, demographics, sustainable development and geopolitics.
