Promoting Research Excellence: New Approaches to Funding

This report presents new evidence on how governments steer and fund public research in higher education and public research institutions through research excellence initiatives (REIs). It provides information on how REIs work and institutions that host centres of excellence. The findings show some of the benefits to be gained through REIs and pitfalls to be avoided.

Insights blog: Beyond the first mile - Where your Internet comes from

In OECD countries, networks look like a mesh with multiple paths that can act as each other’s backup.
