Consortia and European Union (EU)

It's all happening at Educa, currently running in Berlin. The four bodies are the Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC) (UK), SURF Foundation (NL), Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DE) and Danish Electronic Research Library (DEFF) (DK).

I'm not on the inside track on this, so I have no idea whether the Knowledge Exchange is going to be "joined up thinking" or "bureaucratic nightmare," but they don't even have a sane place-holder website at their launch, which isn't a good sign...
