Following our tradition (see the “2014 Natas”, “2015 Natas”, “2016 Natas”, “2017 Natas”, “2018 Natas“ and “2019 Natas“), the prizes for the winners of the image, video, and VR of 2023, the “natas” of visualization, are finally announced.

The prizes awarded were:

• Best image: Róbert Babjak and Rui Torres (tie)
• Best video: Camilla Willim
• Best VR visualization: Camilla Willim and Bertrand Martinez (tie)

The term “Nata” was coined by one of the previous winners Paulo Alves: “Nata” is a tasty Portuguese pastry that everybody likes. It’s as enjoyable as having our simulations running nicely on a big supercomputer. It can also mean being at the top, at a high level, important.” Nata is also a new open-source visualization framework recently launched by epp team members. Many congratulations to the 2023 winners! The images and videos have been posted on the team website here and will be posted over the next few weeks on GoLP’s Facebook page.
