To inspire, encourage and strengthen capacity for think tanks around the world in data visualisation techniques that influence and inform policy, On Think Tanks have held two successful competitions – in 2013-14 and in 2014-15. We have also collected relevant resources, including a series of ‘how to’ notes, interviews with winners, and reviews of common free and low-cost data visualization tools.
Competition 2014–2015
