Global research requires that we sustain a diversity of funding approaches, fostering international collaborations, and providing access to the best facilities and infrastructure, and
locating skilled researchers in stimulating environments.
Doing productive science with colleagues from other countries — whether you've gone abroad as an international student, postdoc, or more senior
researcher, or are working in your own country with collaborators or subjects
located elsewhere — thus demands not only «high - level scientific
skills» but also attention to «cultural and social aspects [that] are not intuitive.»
