Dear Colleagues,

Join FARIA for the next FARIAtalks webinar on Wednesday, February 8th, 2023 from 14.00-14.45 EET. The seminar topic is on the 5 questions researchers should ask before starting collaboration with U.S. partners!

Cooperation with partners from the United States can include some unexpected challenges arising from different expectations, policies, and laws. These include, for example, different norms in Intellectual Property Rights, budgeting, application systems, contracts and other legal frameworks, and management of data and privacy. These are not insurmountable issues and are more easily dealt with if a shared understanding is established at the beginning of cooperation.

What are the key issues and what should you ask in order to start discussion around these? Funding specialists Dr. Jani Happakoski and Dr. Henna Moore will outline the 5 questions to ask before starting cooperation with U.S. partners. Read information on the webinar from the attachment.

This FARIAtalks webinar is particularly useful for Finland-based researchers, research managers, funding specialists working with the U.S., and other HEI actors interested in cooperating with U.S. partners.

Kindest regards,

Melissa & Jérôme
