Abstract

Data analytics is an important practice that allows to better understand data and, in some cases, take strategic decisions accordingly. Many institutions, including USI, store data in a raw format like Excel, and lack a platform to perform data analytics. Data visualization is one of the preferred means for analyzing data and it helps to communicate information clearly and efficiently, making it easier to have a general overview and combine information across data sets. The goal of this project is to produce a visual analytics web-based platform for the interactive visualization of the research funding obtained by the USI researchers.
