Projections of the participants’ devices including, for example, data, graphics and simulations can easily be moved back and forth on the screen.

How can the arena be of interest for you?

Do you want to present, visualize, and discuss different types of information in a transparent and perspicuous way? The circular shape of the room, the screen, and the table create good conditions for dialogue and non-hierarchical conversations. The arena is useful in both research and teaching, but also by actors in the public and private sectors. When actors gather for a decision-making or planning meeting, work with strategies, review cases, or work on a budget, the decision arena is a suitable facility that offers interactivity and an opportunity to compare different materials.
