We start from:

An organization (or organisation - see spelling differences) is a social group which distributes tasks for a collective goal. The word itself is derived from the Greek word organon, itself derived from the better-known word ergon - as we know `organ` - and it means a compartment for a particular job.

An attempt to better reflect the https://github.com/EuroCRIS/CERIF-DataModel/wiki/Guidelines-for-definitions-of-entities-in-the-CERIF-model:

Organisation Unit: an organisation, a unit therein, a committee or other group of people that has a collective goal.

In the research information domain Organisation Units typically represents:
(1) organisations that perform research (universities, research institutes, corporations) and their subdivisions (faculties, schools, departments) and other associated bodies (boards, advisory bodies);
(2) organisations that fund research (funders, their divisions and evaluation panels);
(3) scientific associations and networks;
(4) publishers, facility operators and other service providers in the research space;
(5) authorities, such as patent offices and standardization or supervision bodies; and
(6) other bodies: editorial boards, evaluation panels, or committees of all kinds.

In the definition we could specify that the organisation doesn't need to be formalized in a legal entity
I will like to put research groups in the list of example but I'm not sure in which of the 6 categories it should be included

Outcome of the TG virtual meeting discussion today:

Organisation Unit: an organisation, a unit therein, a committee or any other group of people that has a collective goal. Organisation Units are not necessarily formalized as legal entities.

In the research information domain Organisation Units typically represents:
(1) organisations that perform research (universities, research institutes, corporations) and their subdivisions (faculties, schools, departments, research groups) and other associated bodies (boards, advisory bodies);
(2) organisations that fund research (funders, their divisions and evaluation panels);
(3) scientific associations and networks;
(4) publishers, facility operators and other service providers in the research space;
(5) authorities, such as patent offices and standardization or supervision bodies; and
(6) other bodies: editorial boards, evaluation panels, or committees of all kinds.
