Main messages of the Fed2 report

  • Global R&E Federation is unlikely to remain sufficiently relevant and valuable if we continue on as we have been going, despite how much progress has been made

  • We must become able to implement solutions to stakeholder needs across all of R&E Federation: increase our ability to execute and to manage change.
    • Establish governance, effective advocacy, sustainable resourcing
    • Principled approach to addressing major challenges

  • REFEDS should convene identified stakeholders to take the first steps
    • Devise a process by which all R&E federations ultimately meet Baseline Expectations
    • Draft governance charter for Academic Interfederation
