Hey guys,
I found this on a blog this evening: Review of data visualisation for public sector decision-makers and researchers. http://www.ocsi.co.uk/news/2009/02/12/visualising-data-call-for-evidence/
They talk about showcasing, no money involved:
"The project/website will be an excellent opportunity to show case your own examples of good visualisation, and help contribute to common standards of good practice in the research community. If you have any examples, we would love to hear from you! Please email us on visualisation@ocsi.co.uk, or 01273 201 345."
Not my cup of tea. OCSI are apparently "a spin-out research consultancy from the Social Disadvantage Research Centre at the University of Oxford."
Interesting all the same.
