U.S. innovation policy relies on a diverse web of cross-sector collaborations and multi-stakeholder coalitions. International engagement and partnership are integral to this system, which is fueled by an open exchange of information and talent. The Government-University-Industry Research Roundtable convened six short virtual workshops for its membership and invited guests to discuss the challenges and opportunities of enhancing the U.S. innovation ecosystem through international cooperation, partnership, and engagement. By convening experts and leaders from across sectors and disciplines, GUIRR provided a forum for dialogue on policy priorities for consideration by the new administration and leaders across the research enterprise.

Description
A planning committee of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine will organize a series of six short, virtual workshops to consider opportunities for strengthening U.S. science and technology leadership through global cooperation and partnership. The workshops will explore current challenges to U.S. leadership in science and innovation and the ways in which global engagement can enhance U.S. competitiveness. Topics for consideration during the workshops include: challenges to U.S. science and technology leadership; strengthening the intersection of science, foreign policy, and international development assistance policy; demonstrating the value of international research collaboration; maintaining U.S. leadership in international standards bodies; supporting international students and researchers in the United States; and improving the U.S. innovation environment with public-private partnerships. The virtual workshops – each 90 minutes in length – are meant to catalyze high-level policy discussions and to stimulate further dialogue on science and innovation policy. A rapporteur-authored proceedings in brief will be published summarizing all workshops in the series.
