Announcing a conference on Challenges and Tensions in International Research Collaborations, at the University of Minnesota, October 2 and 3, 2008. International research collaborations are expanding rapidly, but they involve certain challenges. How are cross-national collaborations affected by fundamental differences in the way research is organized and funded? in cultural expectations? in laws and regulations? in national systems of graduate education and postdoctoral training? Conference speakers have experience in international research collaborations in over 60 countries throughout Asia, Africa, Europe, and South America.
