Visualizing Knowledge 2025

To be human is to be resilient. For the past two hundred millenia, humanity has survived mass extinctions, devastating pandemics, rapid industrialization, and more varied living conditions than almost any other species. Our world itself has changed, as has our understanding of it, its processes and inner systems -- but never before has the pace of this change been so fast.

In the context of this acceleration, we want to explore the concept of resilience -- the ability to bounce back, to endure, to adapt. What does this process of transformation look like? What can we gain from it? And how can information design help us see clearer?

At Visualizing Knowledge, we invite you to look deeper. Join us in navigating complex and fascinating topics through data visualisation and information design. We’ll meet in Helsinki for in-depth discussions and workshops with International experts, Researchers from multiple scientific fields, Design practitioners, Data Journalists, Educators, Students, and Enthusiasts.

Together, we will share profound knowledge while showcasing the changes our world has already gone through -- and those to come.

During our conference, experts and new talent alike will explore visualisation in widely varied and relevant subjects such as Mapping legal systems, The role of humanity in AI, Climate change impacts, Human genome research, Advances in Biology, Air quality, Education, Civic Engagement, and Life Satisfaction.

We will explore the potential of visualization to illuminate truths, inspire action, and shape a more informed and equitable future.
