Cross-boundary collaborations
From The Embassy of Good Science
ThemesCross-boundary collaborations
What is this about?
Cross-boundary research collaborations involve cooperation across disciplines, institutions and countries. Collaborations pose particular challenges due to different research norms and practices. Professional guidelines may differ between disciplines, codes and accepted practices may differ between institutions, and legal and ethical requirements may differ between countries.
Why is this important?
Cross-boundary collaborations provide opportunities but also difficulties. It is important to be aware of differences in research practice, guidelines and legislation. Collaborators should try to reach consensus and agreement in the design and implementation of research.
For whom is this important?
