Collaboration Model
Discover how FTGRN facilitates meaningful research partnerships and collaboration across institutions, academia, and the private sector for the public good.
The Amsterdam Principles
Our collaboration model is built on four foundational principles established through collaborative dialogue between leaders from academia, industry, and corporate research.
The network's primary mission centers on generating insights for societal benefit. All insights and results are made openly available.
Our research agenda is carefully crafted to maintain balance between academic rigor, policy-making relevance, and corporate usefulness.
We uphold the highest standards of research integrity through mandatory pre-registration of research proposals and transparent methodologies.
Our approach to risk emphasizes proactive assessment rather than reactive measures, ensuring the integrity of our research outputs.
How We Collaborate
FTGRN operates as an open research network with multiple pathways for meaningful collaboration and knowledge exchange.
We regularly issue calls for proposals that solicit diverse research initiatives aligned with network priorities. This democratic approach ensures transparency in project selection while maintaining high standards of academic excellence.
Specialized working groups focus on specific research themes and methodological challenges. These groups facilitate deep collaboration between experts across institutions and sectors.
Regular webinars, conferences, and seminars provide platforms for sharing cutting-edge research, emerging methodologies, and collaborative opportunities across the global network.
Governance & Leadership
Our governance structure is designed to foster agility, efficiency, and balanced representation across all stakeholder groups.
Steering Committee
The primary decision-making body guiding overall direction—research agenda, institutional engagements, and strategic partnerships. Composed of research leads from participating financial research institutions, the committee operates through consensus-based voting to ensure balanced representation.
Key Responsibilities
- • Strategic oversight of knowledge exchange initiatives
- • Resource allocation aligned with research priorities
- • Project evaluation based on social impact
- • Policy development for effective network operations
Composition
- • Research directors from partner institutions
- • Consensus-based decision making
- • Balanced institutional representation
- • Commitment to privacy and compliance standards
Data Collaboration Framework
Understanding how we facilitate secure, ethical, and impactful data collaboration while protecting institutional privacy and maintaining regulatory compliance.
When proprietary data is made available for research, access is strictly controlled through designated working groups. Only qualified data engineers from participating institutions have authorized access, operating under comprehensive confidentiality and security protocols.
Network membership does not guarantee data access. Each institution retains full ownership and control over their proprietary data.
