Abstract:
Among the first to navigate across the newly flat globe have been groups or collaborations of basic scientists, most notably those requiring large investments in equipment and specialized teams. CERN, the noted center for nuclear and particle physics in Switzerland, led the way, with its development of electronic communication needed for research-collaborations making a key step towards the world we see today. As a scientist who has enjoyed and thrived in global collaborations of small to moderate sizes. This paper attempts to distill some of the lessons learned, with the goal of encouraging and mentoring a wider range of collaborative national, regional, or international efforts, with benefits to be sought in the more local and applied research topics needed for development of nations and communities lacking their own critical masses to solve important problems.
