IEEE VIS Workshop on Visualization Education, Literacy, and Activities 2026

This is the 4th workshop on visualization education, literacy, and activities. This half-day workshop takes place at the IEEE Vis 2026 conference in Boston, United States, with the option to join online. The EduVis workshop aims to become the primary forum to share and discuss advances, challenges, and methods at the intersection of visualization and education. It addresses an interdisciplinary audience from and beyond visualization, education, learning analytics, science communication, arts and design, psychology, and adjacent fields such as data science and HCI.

In its 4th edition, the workshop’s annual spotlight topic is Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) in education and data visualization. It includes presentations of research papers published in the IEEE Xplore library, educator reports published in the Nightingale Magazine, and poster-style discussions including vis activities.

The full workshop proposal is available here.

Mode of Attendance

The workshop can be attended either in person in Boston or online. Please note that satellite events do not offer in-person attendance for this workshop—authors attending via a satellite event will participate online only. We will provide a link to attend the workshop online here on the website.

Workshop goals and scope of topics

With this workshop, we want to achieve the following goals:

The workshop topics include, but are not limited to:

Submission Guidelines and Reviewing Process

The workshop will accept two types of submissions, peer-reviewed by at least two PC members and one workshop organizer.

Paper submissions: full papers (4–8 pages excluding references, must follow the formatting guidelines for the VGTC Conference Style Template); submissions will be published at the IEEE Xplore with authors’ permission. Note: Similar to the VIS paper stream, we accept both double-blind (anonymized) and single-blind (not anonymized) submissions.

Educator reports: short reports (1–2 pages, template agnostic) to discuss opinions or reflections on teaching experiences or describe the results of a datavis activity conducted and how it could be reused by others and in other contexts; they will be published in the Nightingale magazine (pre-arranged with the Data Visualization Society). This is not intended to be assessed as scientific writing; we recommend framing these reports similar to blog posts. The goal of these reports is to disseminate knowledge to non-academic audiences.

At least one author for each paper or educator report must register and attend the conference in person.

Important Dates

All deadlines are at 11:59pm (23:59) AoE (Anywhere on Earth)

Submissions will be accepted through PCS.
