Hi all. There will be a visit to CityU Apps Lab organised by Open Innovation Lab@CUHK. Please see if you have interest. Data journalism could be presented in various forms like webpages, apps and etc. News apps are also a trend in data journalism.

“Those two are tech communities. CAL finds a lot of practical applications with impact to society. They even got some public startup funding from HK gov last year. I think it is a good opportunity for people with a inter-disciplinary interest to mingle with each other,” says Hu Pili, Director of Initium Lab.

Here is the visit info:
