While societies are facing complex problems involving multiple stakeholders and interdependencies, interest in collaborative governance as a potential solution is rising.
Many Big Science projects and networks experience conflict. Yet, so far, there is no theoretical model that explains which mechanisms connect conflict cause and outbreak in Big Science.
The international body that banned chemical weapons is due to celebrate its first major milestone sometime this year — the completed destruction of the world’s declared stockpiles of banned substances. But at the organization’s brand-new facility in the Netherlands, scientists from around the world will continue its work to prevent, spot and respond to chemical warfare.
Amid increasing competition and conflict with countries such as China, calls to restrict international scientific cooperation overlook benefits to the United States.
Exactly 30 years ago, CERN publicly released the tool that allowed scientists and institutes working on CERN data all over the globe to share information accurately and quickly.
The Foundation for Polish Science recently extended its For Ukraine programme, launching a third call, open for proposals until 4 April from pairs of scientists working in tandem, one from Ukraine who can be living anywhere, and one employed in Poland.
The first meeting of the G20 Chief Science Advisers Roundtable (G20-CSAR) in Ramnagar, Uttarakhand, Wednesday, witnessed intense discussion on transboundary science and technology issues of mutual interest. This was the first time that chief science advisers of different countries gathered for a roundtable conference at the G20 platform.
Collectively solving problems shared by many nations requires a new global science and technology commons.
In 2019 the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) set up a new service, the Competence Centre for International Academic Cooperation (KIWi). It's been hugely popular, and the DAAD believes it's time to give it a boost.
A transitional arrangement means researchers in New Zealand can apply for Horizon Europe grants as of now, even though Brussels and Wellington have yet to fix a budget following the agreement last December under which New Zealand became the first country to secure full association to the research programme.
China, the US and the EU's race to control their own scientific advances and cut out supply chain dependencies could lead to a "decoupling" of research activities at a time when collaboration to solve global issues is crucial, says a stark report by the OECD.
Collectively solving problems shared by many nations requires a new global science and technology commons.
Nature analysis suggests that Russia is increasing partnerships with China and India.
Germany universities should carry out risk assessments when collaborating with China on sensitive technologies, after a string of investigations revealed that German researchers have been working on projects useful to the Chinese military.
Democratic countries are bound by economic reality to work together rather than put up barriers to cross-border collaboration. Companies must spearhead the R&D cooperation, argues the lead for a new Fraunhofer USA initiative.
This article investigates higher-order rich-club phenomena in networks of collaborative research grants among institutions and their associations with research impact.
Locked out of key European research and education programmes, Swiss universities are forging another path via alliances with European universities.
Based on the state of research in the Science of Team Science, the question of which intra- and interpersonal factors are most significant for the success of a research team is investigated.
Wallace, who independently discovered the theory of evolution, relied on local knowledge to craft his seminal work on species ranges in the Amazon. Now, the region's Indigenous scientists have taken charge of their research using this and other cross-cultural tools.
The EU has been pushing for convergence in the university sector for several decades, but when it comes to collaborating transnationally, universities struggle to deal with the patchwork of national regulations governing higher education. The European University Association (EUA) has taken stock and listed the biggest barriers to transnational collaboration in a briefing paper last week.
US and EU officials agreed to expand R&D collaboration on cancer, climate change, green aviation and other fields, signaling a further warming of transatlantic science relations.
This paper develops a new indicator based on an academic's inferred co-presence at conferences. It finds that hierarchy and influence play a stronger role in determining a scientist's performance in the context of informal networks than they do when considering formal co-publication networks.
This article explores the effects and interrelationships of seven collaboration problems that arise in the context of the tension between cooperation and competition.
A new ethics framework urges researchers to promote greater equity in global collaborations.
This study aimed to reveal how researchers describe the collaboration with partners outside the university in research proposals.
