Hi everyone, We are organizing an activity track at the EuroVis 2026 conference<https://eurovis.org.uk/> where we would like to bring together PhD students and academics for a focused activity on PhD Education in Data Visualization. We would like to discuss PhD study, skills and supervision for students and staff and involved in PhD Education in Visualization by connecting, sharing best practice and developing ideas for the future. Details of the activity can be found on this page<https://jsndyks.github.io/diverse-cdt/eurovis/>. The activity is currently scheduled for Tuesday, June 9th in the afternoon (subject to changes until the EuroVis programme is finalized). To kick-start the activity, we are inviting current or prospective PhD students, at any stage in their studies or planning, to introduce themselves and connect with fellow PhDs and supervisors. This is a great opportunity to build a network of fellow PhDs, hear from experienced academics on their PhD experience and contribute to discussions where we will aim to imagine the visualization PhDs of the future. Please submit your expression of interest through a straightforward submission. The submission is a single visual that tells us something about you and your PhD. This can be anything, submitted in advance, but might involve: * your approach to visualization / design * something important to your PhD * why you love visualization * your favourite / least favourite data vis * something about you (or your data, or your cat) * the future of visualization * something you care about You can request a 1, 3 or 5 minute presentation during the submission and we do our best to fit that in during the day! The deadline to send your expressions of interest to participate are: 31 May 2026 (Anywhere on Earth) Submit your visual (PDF) and details through this Google Form<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfRlecXFRfDxf9SgmfccJmDEGJYRcz6c02BsAQ_LuViZ-KNTQ/viewform?usp=sharing&ouid=103543335356597978812>. Any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Cagatay Turkay (cagatay.turkay@warwick.ac.uk<mailto:cagatay.turkay@warwick.ac.uk>) and/or Jason Dykes (J.Dykes@citystgeorges.ac.uk<mailto:J.Dykes@citystgeorges.ac.uk>). We will appreciate if you can share this widely. If you are a supervisor and have PhD students coming to EuroVis, please flag this session to them as well. Thanks!
