Panel Discussion: Global Research Networks
- Global research networks are increasingly growing and becoming a driving force of innovation. Nations are exploring new opportunities to ensure the sustainability of innovation in an increasingly borderless world, where public spending for research is leveraged based on national priorities, but where research outcomes are not confined to national borders. This panel discussion will focus on how effective collaboration among developing countries and IIASA can strengthen national systems analysis themes and ultimately lead to increased collaborative research that contributes towards attaining national, regional and global development agendas, informed by local data and priorities.
