  1. Factors Influencing International Collaborations within Frontier Research

  2. Topics for Discussion To Develop International Collaborations within Frontier Research, we Need to Address the Following Questions: • Who are the key stakeholders ? • What tools exist to support the development of International collaborations? • What are the potential barriers and/or risks to international collaborations? ChinaFrontier: China’s Realities from a Frontier Research Perspective February 2006

  3. Topics for Discussion Who are the key stakeholders? • Government Stakeholders • Public/Private Research Institutions Stakeholders • University Research Stakeholders ChinaFrontier: China’s Realities from a Frontier Research Perspective February 2006

  4. Key Stakeholders Government Stakeholders • Profile - Drivers and leaders in R&D Policy development and management. • Role – Influence international R&D collaborations through financial incentives. • Level of Influence – High • Examples* - French Ministry of Research (France) - Framework Programme representatives (EU) * Well established list from NEST and IST Programmes (FP6).

  5. Key Stakeholders Public/Private Research Institution Stakeholders • Profile – The leading R&D Centers in the forefront of Basic Research. • Role – Establish specific research focuses and coordinate research activities. • Level of Influence – Moderate • Examples* - Max Planck Institute (Germany) - Weizmann Institute of Science (Israel) - French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS) * Well established list from NEST and IST Programmes (FP6).

  6. Key Stakeholders University Research Stakeholders • Profile - Active and longstanding Research Centers with well established graduate departments. • Role – Establish specific research focuses and coordinate research activities. • Level of Influence - High • Examples* - University of Lund (Sweden) - Université Pierre et Marie Curie (France) * Well established list from NEST and IST Programmes (FP6).

  7. Available Tools What tools exist to monitor Frontier Research activities within Europe? • Journals (e.g. European Journal of Operational Research). • Portals (e.g. ERA; FP7) • Conferences (e.g. ERA Conferences) • Organizations' activities (e.g. CERN - European Organization for Nuclear Research, ESA – European Space Agency) ChinaFrontier: China’s Realities from a Frontier Research Perspective February 2006

  8. Available Tools What tools exist to monitor Frontier Research activities abroad from within Europe? • Journals with a focus on China if possible – (e.g. China-EU S&T Cooperation Promotion Office – CECO - Newsletter); • Portals with a focus on China if possible - (e.g. CECO); • International Conferences with a focus on China if possible – (e.g. EU-China Cooperation Forum on Information Society – April 2002, EU-China Conference on Digital Olympics – June 2005) ChinaFrontier: China’s Realities from a Frontier Research Perspective February 2006

  9. Available Tools What channels can be utilized to develop international collaborations? • Funding Programmes (e.g. European Framework Programmes) ChinaFrontier: China’s Realities from a Frontier Research Perspective February 2006

  10. Potential Barriers What are the potential barriers to international collaborations? • Language • Culture • Geographical Distance • Lack of Capital • Networking How can researchers overcome these barriers? ChinaFrontier: China’s Realities from a Frontier Research Perspective February 2006

  11. Potential Risks What potential risks exist to international collaborations? • Loss of proprietary knowledge • Patent infringement How can these risks be minimized? ChinaFrontier: China’s Realities from a Frontier Research Perspective February 2006
