International partnerships and collaboration are integral in the effort of translating U.S. scientific investments into global leadership and value for the economy, as the United States does not currently have the resources to lead the world in all science and technology areas. How can the United States better leverage and enhance strategic international relationships and values-based partnerships with other countries that might have a technological lead? How are the benefits of participating in international research partnerships measured? How can the country’s policies continue to foster an environment that enables independent research collaboration across borders?

During this meeting, attendees considered opportunities for assessing and demonstrating the value of international research collaborations.

Speakers:
Hans Pohl, Program Director at STINT - The Swedish Foundation for International Cooperation in Research and Higher Education
James Le Duc, Former Director of the Galveston National Laboratory
Karen Seto, Frederick C. Hixon Professor of Geography and Urbanization Science at the Yale School of the Environment
Larry Marshall, Chief Executive of the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (pre-recorded remarks)

This meeting is for members of the Government-University-Industry Research Roundtable and invited guests.
