===== Analyze CORDIS data (EU-funded research projects) =====

Since 1994 several thousands of research projects have been funded by the EU. Hundreds of different institutions in many countries have collaborated on a very broad range of research topics. 

We're working on possible visualisations which should help researchers and the public see connections between the different collaborators and topics. Ultimately also showing trending research topics from FP4 until Horizon2020.

===== Storytelling =====



==== Ideation Process ====

What stories can be found in the data and how can we visualize them?

Wrangling stories out of chaotic data... with a little help from IPython

==== Visual Stories ====

===A given set of data can be (mis-)used to tell completely opposite stories===

During FP4 Switzerland got most funding per project. It had only 8 projects in that period, but the 31st most expensive one of the 4k considered. However, only ca. 0.3% of the total funding went to Switzerland.

===New visualisation tools can show new connections===

Looking at projects during FP4 where Switzerland was the coordinating country, the longest and highly paid projects featured collaborations with Austria and Belgium.

During Horizon2020 (as of June 2015) most funding went towards fusion energy research, which overshadowed other projects funding by an order of magnitude.
