Das DATARAMA
A Multimedia-Tool for Research, Teaching and Presentation
For scientists who rely on visual data or data visualizations, the limitations of monitors, multiple monitor spans or projection facilities can present serious limitations for data gathering and the analysis and presentation of findings. Arising from MPI-MMG’s ‘GlobaldiverCities’ project, the Datarama is a unique research and presentation tool that provides a significant solution to the limitations of working with visual data.

Van der Veer erörterte auch seinen demnächst erscheinenden, gemeinsam herausgegebenen Band Refugees and Religion: Ethnographic Studies of Global Trajectories (2021), und die COVID-19-Pandemie und ihre aktuellen geopolitischen Dynamiken und Trends.
