[okfn-coord] Fwd: Grant Funding Call 03/09: Rapid Innovation Grants

Wed Mar 11 22:45:29 UTC 2009

I think this one is the most likely JISC call I've seen for the OKF:

  http://www.jisc.ac.uk/fundingopportunities/funding_calls/2009/03/309ricall.aspx

£15-40k. Relevant areas include:

  Mashups of open data
  Aggregating tags and feeds
  Semantic web/ linked data
  Data search
  Visualisation
  Lightweight Shared Infrastructure Services

Not sure if OKF can apply for this alone - or if we'd need a FE/HE
partner (as usually the case with JISC). Deadline 22nd April.
