EuroVis 2025: Best Short Paper Award for the AIT

01.08.2025
We are very proud that an AIT team consisting of Till Bieg, Michael Oppermann, Isabella Krottenberger (all from the Center for Technology Experience) and Sophie Knöttner (Center for Energy) received the Best Short Paper Award at the renowned EuroVis 2025 conference.
 

The award was given for the short paper entitled ‘Visualization of Interaction Effects for Combinatorial Cost-Benefit Analysis’. The central theme is the visualization of interaction effects in decision-making processes. The study presented in the paper examined possible forms of representation. 

‘We are thus helping to make these effects more visible and to derive recommendations for action,’ the team of authors is convinced. The study was conducted as part of the NEFI Greenbricks project. It contributes to the field of human data interaction research, which focuses on understanding data, making it tangible and offering recommendations for action.

EuroVis is one of the leading conferences for visualization research in Europe and took place in Luxembourg in June. The highlight of the conference was the keynote speech by Prof. Pat Hanrahan, multiple award-winning computer and visualization researcher and co-founder and former CTO of Tableau, entitled ‘On Notation,’ as well as the exchange with international experts on current research in the field of visualization.

How the paper was evaluated

The selection committee, consisting of Dr Renata Raidou (TU Vienna), Dr Stefan Bruckner (University of Rostock) and Dr Andrew McNutt (University of Utah), gave the following assessment:

"This paper is a standout for its clear articulation of a critical gap in visualizing interaction effects in decision-making and for offering a practical, scalable solution. It excels in methodological rigor, combining novel visual techniques with a well-executed user study involving 271 participants. The study’s thorough empirical grounding, thoughtful design, relevance, and applicability across domains make it highly impactful.”

We warmly congratulate the successful AIT team!
