Research partnerships across national borders are an important way to build capacity of partners but can also lead to frustrations. Common problems that are encountered include "misunderstandings, different jargon, unrealistic expectations, mismatched capabilities and excessive bureaucracy." An OECD report cited in the article encourages specific action to avoid these impediments to cooperation.
Another article explored the benefits that accrue to institutions in Argentina who joined in cross-border research projects. Argentina's National Scientific and Technical Research Council (CONICET) found that its partnerships with the U.S.A., Spain and Brazil composed 40% of all research production in Argentina. These partnerships resulted in enhanced results, improved academic performance, and development of critical human resources.
