An ad hoc committee will plan and conduct a two-day public workshop on international research collaborations. The agenda of the workshop will be developed with topics to enhance international understanding and diminish barriers to research collaborations, providing an important forum for the expected participants from scientific and engineering research communities in the U.S. and other countries. Issues to be addressed in the workshop include the following: (1) Cultural Differences and Nuances; (2) Legal Issues and Agreements; (3) Differences in Ethical Standards; (4) Research Integrity and the Responsible Conduct of Research; (5) Intellectual Property; (6) Risk Management; (7) Export Controls; and (8) Strategies for Developing Meaningful International Collaborations. An individually-authored workshop summary will be published. In addition, a password-protected website will be created to permit workshop participants and others to post questions and share information on specific tools for research collaboration that have been useful to practitioners.
