In today’s increasingly data-driven academic environment, the ability to interpret, critically assess, and communicate data is no longer optional – it is essential.

We invite university students, lecturers and administrative staff to participate in an interactive workshop aimed at strengthening data literacy and applying advanced data visualization practices in both teaching and research.

About the lecturer

Rémai Dániel is a Police Major and acting Head of the Department of Counter-Terrorism at the University of Public Service (Nemzeti Közszolgálati Egyetem, Hungary).

His academic and teaching expertise includes theories of political violence and terrorism, foreign and returning fighters, operational structures of terrorist organisations, as well as data literacy and data-driven research methods.

His teaching combines theoretical insights with practical analytical approaches, fostering evidence-based understanding of contemporary security challenges. From 13-17 April 2026, he will visit MRU under the Erasmus+ teaching mobility programme, contributing to the international teaching week and related academic activities.
