Risks in international research cooperation – causes, correlations and effects

How can we address the complex challenges of global research partnerships? This document offers a structured framework for identifying, analysing, and managing risks in international collaboration. It defines key risk types, indicators, and management strategies, providing research institutions with a structured overview. The analysis shows how risks are interconnected and highlights the importance of considering long-term systemic risks. It also examines risk sources, triggers, and potential consequences, supported by specific examples from each risk cluster. Detailed tables on risk indicators, vulnerable types of collaboration, and possible countermeasures supplement the analysis, making this a practical resource for informed discussion and comprehensive risk management.
