Research Fairness Initiative

Partnership goes to the heart of research excellence and innovation. Fair research and innovation partnerships are essential for socio-economic and sustainable development. This is where the Research Fairness Initiative (RFI) will make a difference:

its partnership quality improvement system encourages governments, national research and innovation agencies, academic and research institutions/organizations, business, organizations and funders to describe how they take measures to create fair partnerships in research and innovation that are trusting, lasting, transparent and more effective; and how they will plan toward improvement in key areas.

Mission

Better Partnerships Better Science.

"The RFI should become the new normal for research organisations, institutions, funders, business and non-profits. It is probably the one and only opportunity to look strategically at how your institution creates, manages and exits partnerships. We aim for the RFI to become a global standard, and for the results to become a systematic global learning platform on how to keep getting better."

RFI Vision

"To endeavour towards standards describing best practice in research & innovation collaborations, which help partners to build transparent governance systems for better social benefit, health, global learning and sustainable development worldwide."
