One thing which I thought about trying which might be related is to take on a small scale research problem and set up an open call to globally collaborate on this. To make it successful, we can set up something formal that some organisation is interested in this result (and better yet, possibly supply a prize—doesn’t have to be monetary) and coordinate with local groups to collect an initial team.
That could be fun and engaging, but I’m not sure how scalable this is and how much impact we can expect from that (which is uncertainty probably worth of testing out). I’ve tried to start a small ALLFED-directed research group locally, as part of our research team, but that also didn’t work out. I think that going global might possibly work though.
