Have you ever wondered what an "Innovation Dashboard" of your state or congressional District would reveal? Where would the pockets of innovation lie and what pathways do those innovations take to impact education, health, or profit? Where are the the jobs or the innovative education programs? How would you use such a dashboard in your daily work?

This seminar series brings together R&D researchers with a strong background in data analysis and visualization and selected Members of Congress and Congressional Staff. The main goal is to collectively identify features and functionality of an "Innovation Dashboard" for Congress.
