Abstract
This report incorporates insight from the 6th Annual Meeting of the Global Research Council (GRC), as well as survey data, and suggested directions aimed at strengthening the capacity and connectivity of research councils. While structural reforms tend to build on institutional legacies, new structures and programmatic directions create a demand for peer support and learning. It is timely to take stock of current efforts, priorities and approaches of research councils old and new, and identify areas for future collaboration. The GRC principle of pursuing shared objectives and voluntary collaboration remains the cornerstone from which new actions are to be developed.
