Award winner for the project „From Data to Insights: Explaining Voting Behavior in the German and European Parliament Using Shiny"
The chair is proud to have received another award! As part of the NFDI4DataScience Summer School Days at Leuphana University Lüneburg, John Brüne presented his project work and parts of his Master's thesis as a poster.
Using the API of abgeordnetenwatch.de, data was extracted, processed and analysed descriptively and multivariate using statistical methods. For example, groups of parliamentarians were identified based on their voting behaviour. The results are visualised in a user-friendly interactive app and help to communicate scientific findings from data to a broad public.
The poster and its presentation convinced the participants, who voted and awarded John the ‘Best Poster Prize’. The award-winning poster can be found in the hallway and you can try out the underlying app here. Congratulations, John!
