GEG's Expert Taskforce on Global Knowledge Governance

Launched in November 2009, the taskforce will publish its report in 2015. The taskforce’s work will address the following questions:

• What are the most critical current and emerging global trends and challenges relating to knowledge generation, access and use? What are the issues that matter most to different kinds of stakeholders?
• How effective are the current arrangements for global knowledge governance in facing these challenges? Are they adequate for responding to emerging trends and future challenges?
• What are key principles that should guide reform of global knowledge governance and what are the options for reform?

The taskforce is led by a small, core team of experts participating in a personal capacity, supported by several distinguished Honorary Advisors. The work of the taskforce will include consultations; an online stakeholder survey; interviews with a diversity of academics, policy experts, and stakeholder communities around the world; and a review of the most relevant scholarly and policy literature.  The report will be peer-reviewed by a group of leading international scholars working on the intersection of issues covered in the study.
