Conducting International Research and Service Collaborations: Tips, Threats, and Triumphs provides academic researchers, service professionals, and others with much-needed guidance on how to plan, implement, and manage collaborative international projects.

Groark rely on their wide-ranging and decades-long experience of cross-border collaborations. This book outlines how to prepare for and conduct successful cross-border research projects and interventions, how to embrace unique circumstances you may encounter, and how to cope when things go wrong. Each chapter covers a general domain of concerns, advice, and lessons learned in conducting international collaborative projects followed by concrete illustrations that pertain to them. Key topics covered include launching projects and working with stakeholders, travelling and living abroad, cultural considerations, planning and funding, administrative issues, dealing with crises, and successfully implementing and disseminating findings. This comprehensive guide is ideal for researchers and project managers - from large, global organizations to small NGOs, human services, private industry, and other fields embarking on such projects, as well as university students and academics.
