A focus on the Research Fairness Initiative

COHRED, in collaboration with the Swiss Commission for Partnerships with Developing Countries (KFPE) hosted COHRED Colloquium 5, an event that focused on the Research Fairness Initiative.

Meeting Report RFI - COHRED/KFPE Colloquium Geneva 2018

Three main topics were discussed by participants:

  1. Measuring Impact of the Research Fairness Initiative (RFI) – best measures for impact, best ways to communicate this, dealing with complexity
  2. Governance of the RFI – moving from a ‘project’ to a globally accepted reporting standard
  3. How can the RFI be improved – in general – and to support research funders in achieving their mission in funding global (health / development) research

There were participants from COHRED, KFPE, French IRD, UKCDS, UKRI, WHO/TDR, EUVADIS, the Zambian Mission for Europe and the Graduate Institute, Geneva.
