Does everyone have their own visual grammar? Across disciplines, researchers rely on diagrams to convey ideas, explore concepts, and illustrate relationships. In this mini-workshop, we will have fun creating, interpreting, and discussing our own diagrams together. Through a series of team challenges, we will translate concepts into diagrams and experiment with different ways of representing ideas visually. Along the way, we will compare and discuss our approaches. As we will see, there are no right or wrong answers.

The workshop is designed to bring together people from different backgrounds, encourage us to learn from each other, and enjoy exchanging ideas about the many ways in which diagrams can be constructed and interpreted. No artistic talent or prior knowledge is required. Whether you are a philosopher, mathematician, linguist, computer scientist, or biologist, this workshop is for you if you love structures.
