Thank you for the important work each of you are doing across our STEM sector. <br class=""> <br class="">Among the many policy issues we are all currently navigating, helping policymakers to understand the importance of international research collaborations is a continuing priority. <br class=""> <br class="">We are therefore looking to collect some great examples and case studies to highlight global research collaborations between Australian STEM researchers and counterparts abroad.<br class=""> <br class="">We are looking for the following information:<ul class=""><li class="">What (types of) research are you and your members currently collaborating on with international partners?</li><li class="">What research and products/services/insights/jobs have come from your or your members international collaborations (links or pdfs to papers and websites would be excellent)?</li><li class="">What countries are your research partners in?</li><li class="">Are you collaborating with international businesses or industry and, if so, who and how?</li></ul>We are looking for as much specificity in examples as possible – although we understand that some research might be commercial in confidence. <br class=""> <br class="">STA intends to use this research as public case studies however if requested we will not include your name or research institution. <br class=""> <br class="">We would like to gather this information before September 21.
